  • Title: Serum IgE levels in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected patients: correlation between IgE and CD4+ cells.
    Author: Ferrazzi M, De Rinaldis ML, Salotti A, Cirelli A.
    Journal: Riv Eur Sci Med Farmacol; 1993; 15(2):67-70. PubMed ID: 7909618.
    Abstract:
    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated, like allergic diseases, with altered T cell regulation. Total serum IgE levels were measured in 65 infected patients. The mean IgE level of subjects with a T lymphocytes number < or = 200/mmc was greater than mean IgE level of subjects with a T cell number > 200/mmc. No prevalence of atopic diseases was noted in the two groups. The elevation of IgE may be related to a difference in IgE regulatory lymphokines produced by T lymphocytes.
