Concentration of immunoglobulins in nasal secretion from children with recurrent infections in the upper airways.
Concentrations of immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, IgE and albumin were determined in nasal secretion from 14 children suffering from chronically recurrent infections in the upper airways and from normal subjects. The only statistically significant difference observed was increased albumin values during infection.
