[Serum immunoglobulins in patients with food poisoning, salmonellosis, typical and atypical dysentery].

A study was made of 350 patients suffering from food toxinfections and dysentery; the quantitative variations in the Ig content were determined in the blood serum by Mancicni's method, depending on the period and the severity of the disease. A total of 768 investigations were conducted. Distinct shifts in the IgA and IgM were revealed in the patients with food poisoning and salmonellosis pursuing a moderately severe course; IgG content varied within the normal range during the whole observation period. At the acute period of dysentery the content of all the three immunoglobulin classes (both in the typical and atypical course of the process) displayed no significant differences from that in the healthy individuals; during the convalescence in typical and atypical (gastroenterocolitic) course of dysentery the Ig content constituted, respectively: IgA--292.0 +/- 11.5 and 387 +/- 14.1, IgM--84.8 +/- 3.1 and 104.0 +/- 8.0; Ig G--1500 +/- 38.0 and 1730.0 +/- 62.7.
