title: [The behaviour of the seric immunoglobulins in brucellosis (author's transl)].
abstract: The Authors studied the behaviour of the seroproteic picture and of the seric immunoglobulins in 34 patients affected with brucellosis, almost all of which came from a single epidemic center, some in the initial phase and others in an advanced stage. As regards the seroproteins they found a constant increase in the globulin, which was more apparent in the beta and gamma fractions. As far as the immunoglobulins are concerned they demonstrated an increase in all three classes examined, but a clearer one in the IgM at the beginning of the illness. However the Authors were not able to find evidence of the usual diphasism probably depending on the fact that the primary phase can develope in a pre-clinical stage.
