title: [Increased serum IgE concentration in lung tuberculosis].
abstract: In about one-half of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, elevations of the IgE serum concentrations are found which, under anti-tuberculous therapy, reveal a tendency to regress. Aetiologically, in addition to an unspecific B-cell activation, a specific reaction of the immune system may be considered.
