title: [Determination of immunologic parameters in patients with lung tuberculoses of various stages with special reference to serum IgE concentration].
abstract: In patients with lung tuberculosis--depending on the severity of the disease--delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction is weakened, also in cases of non-miliary tuberculosis. On analysing the mononuclear cells of peripheral blood, abnormalities are found, in particular an increase in the monocyte count. In addition to increasing levels of serum immunoglobulin A and G, circulating immune complexes were detected in 50% of the patients. In 50% of the patients we found elevated IgE-serum levels, which decreased in response to treatment but did not return to normal.
