title: Total serum immunoglobulins and atopic symptoms in patients with vitiligo.
abstract: Serum concentrations of immunoglobulins were quantified in 110 patients with vitiligo, and the association with atopy was studied. Patients with vitiligo and simultaneous atopy presented lower IgE and higher IgA values compared to a reference group of patients with atopy alone.
