LD-IgG, IgA, IgM complex in a postburn patient.
A 4-year-old Chinese boy was admitted to our hospital with burns over 25% of his body. He had an extremely high LD activity (1743 U/l). LD isoenzyme analysis showed an abnormal band cathodic to LD-5. It was demonstrated by counter immunoelectrophoresis that the extra band was a complex of LD with IgG, IgA and IgM. Because LD-Ig complex is extremely rare in patients with burns, the clinical significance of this substance in blood remains unclarified.
