[Qualitative and quantitative behavior of B-lymphocytes and immunoglobulins in the serum of children with acute leukemia after a single immunoglobulin concentrate substitution].
In 19 children affected with acute leukaemia the serum immunoglobulin level was examined. An Ig deficiency treated with a single administration of IgA or IgM concentrate could be detected in 16 of these children. The impact of this single Ig substitution on the serum immunoglobulin level and on B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood was thrice examined after this substitution. A significant increase of the corresponding Ig class in the serum and a significant decrease of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood could be observed.
