Serum immunoglobulin levels were determined in 25 patients with frozen shoulder and in 25 age- and sex-matched controls. Serum IgA levels were significantly reduced (P less than 0.001) in the patients with frozen shoulder and remained so after clinical recovery. Lymphocyte transformation to phytohaemagglutinin in 21 patients also showed significant depression (P less than 0.01). These results support the suggested immunological pathogenesis of this condition.
对25例肩周炎患者及25例年龄和性别匹配的对照者测定了血清免疫球蛋白水平。肩周炎患者的血清IgA水平显著降低（P<0.001），且临床恢复后仍保持降低状态。21例患者对植物血凝素的淋巴细胞转化也显示出显著抑制（P<0.01）。这些结果支持了该病所提示的免疫发病机制。
