Total IgM levels at birth and in early infancy.
Sera obtained from newborns and young infants in an underdeveloped country were subjected to total IgM measurement. The mean (SD) levels at birth (12.4 (2.34) mg/dl) were comparable with those reported in other centres but rose to higher concentrations in the 1st 4 months of life.
