Thirty patients, 2-12 years of age, with selective IgA deficiency or low level of IgA were investigated. Among them we found 5 children with coeliac disease, 15 with milk protein intolerance. Recurrent respiratory tract infections, otitis, septicemia and urinary tract infections were also frequently noted.
