Title
Total serum IgE level in patients with amoebic liver abscess and other parasitic infections
Total serum IgE level was determined by the radioactive single radial diffusion technique in blood donors, nurse-aid students with the stool positive and negative for parasites, and in patients with helminthic infections. A geometric mean of 445.1 IU/ml in the sera from blood donors was found. Patients with helminthic infections had significantly higher levels than the blood donors and the nurse-aid students with the stool negative for parasites. Intestinal protozoal infections did not cause an increase in IgE level.
