title: [Serum immunoglobulin values in some diseases of infancy].
abstract: Serum immunoglobulin behaviour in some infantile diseases of immunological interest has been studied. No differences in Ig class values were observed in cases of rickets. Intestinal malabsorption was accompanied by increased IgA values, whereas other writers have reported steady or even decreased values in this disease. IgG and IgM increases are observed in virus hepatitis. In line with the majority of the literature reports, decreased IgM values were observed in mongolism.
