[Immunoglobulins in sudden and violent death].

In the blood serum of 65 subjects (33 sudden deaths and 32 deaths due to injury) immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA and IgD were examined using the method of simple radial diffusion. The average values in the whole series of infants, children and adults were as follows: IgG 104, IgM 147, IgA 91, IgD 37 international units per 1 ml. In sudden deaths the immunoglobulin levels were found to be higher.
