title: Estimation of serum and tissue immunoglobulins level in some colonic disorders.
abstract: The immunoglobulins level, were estimated in the sera of 51 patients with different colonic disorders and 12 controls. In 27 of them, tissue immunoglobulin level were estimated. In bilharzial patients there was significant increase in the serum level of IgG, IgM and IgE. IgA and IgD showed no change. IgA containing cells were (87.5%), IgG (50%) and IgM (16.7%). In patients with amoebic colitis, there was significant increase in serum IgG and IgE. IgA and IgD showed significant decrease while IgM was within normal limits. Tissue IgA and IgG were detected in all acses. IgM containing cells were detected in 2 cases. In patients with irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), there was significant high levels of IgM and IgE. IgG showed significant low level, while IgG and IgA showed no change. Tissue IgA were detected in (70%), IgG in (10%) and IgM in (20%). In patients with ulcerative colitis (U.C.), there was significant high levels of IgM and IgE. IgD showed significant low level, while IgG and IgA showed no change. Tissue IgA, IgG and IgM were detected in all cases. In patients with Crohn's disease, the 3 immunoglobulins were detected.
