Serum IgE levels in twelve patients with adult `acquired' hypogammaglobulinaemia were markedly reduced. In addition, seventeen of fifty first degree relatives and spouses had low IgE levels. IgE levels varied among patients with selective IgA deficiency and a combined deficiency did not necessarily predispose to recurrent infections. This study suggests that the absence of IgE in certain immune deficiency states does not, by itself, decrease resistance to infection.
12例成人“获得性”低丙种球蛋白血症患者的血清IgE水平显著降低。此外,50名一级亲属和配偶中有17人的IgE水平较低。选择性IgA缺乏患者的IgE水平各不相同,联合缺乏并不一定会导致反复感染。这项研究表明,在某些免疫缺陷状态下IgE的缺乏本身并不会降低对感染的抵抗力。
