title: [Immunological status of patients with painful syndromes in the face and head].
abstract: As many as 145 patients with painful syndromes in the face and head underwent immunologic examination. They manifested certain changes in cellular and humoral immunity. An increase in the content of secretory IgA in the saliva and in the serum and a decrease of the concentration of IgM and IgG in the serum were detected in the majority of patients. In patients with NTN of mainly peripheral genesis and with Horton's syndrome, the concentration of IgE in the serum was significantly (P less than 0.01) elevated. The changes in the immunologic status, seen in patients after the treatment are discussed.
