چکیده

background: tonsils and adenoids are involved in both local immunity and immune surveillance for the development of immune defense mechanisms. a number of investigators have found decreased immunoglobulin levels after adenotonsillectomy while others have failed to find significant changes. the effects of adenotonsillectomy on the cellular immunity of children have not been investigated extensively. objective: to observe the change in humeral and cellular immune systems before and after operation in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy. methods: the study comprised 102 patients; all of the patients underwent adenotonsillectomy. the levels of igg, iga, and igm were measured for humoral immunity and the percent of cd7 and cd19 positive cells were determined in blood samples taken from these patients 24 hours before operation and also 2 and 8 weeks after the operation. the results were subjected to statistical analysis. results: the present study shows that the serum level of iga would rise few weeks after the operation. changes in the igm and igg level were not statistically significant postoperatively. in addition, no significant change was detected in b lymphocyte count before and after adenotonsillectomy. in our study, there was a slight decrease in the t lymphocyte count in the early stage of post operation, which returned to normal preoperative value after 8 weeks . conclusion: several immune system parameters maintain its normal status several weeks after adenotonsillectomy.

Serum IgG, IgM, and IgA levels in ankylosing spondylitis.

Using immunoelectrophoresis, Mackiewicz and Fenrych (1961) found broader and more intense IgM precipitation lines in sera from patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Kriegel, Burger, Kapp, and Alexopulos (1969) determined Ig levels in AS by single-radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Vaerman, Carbonara, and Heremans, 1964) and reported a rise of the IgA level. Using the same technique, Langness...

Serum levels of IgG, IgM, and IgA in rheumatoid arthritis.

The role of immunoglobulins in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been studied by Franklin and Kunkel (1957), Hamerman (1966), and Hollander, McCarty, Astorga, and CastroMurillo (1965). The inconstancy of the reported presence of the rheumatoid factor (RF), which is considered by Franklin and Kunkel to be a complex composed of altered IgG bound to a molecule of IgM, and also the ...

Immunoglobulin IgG, IgM, IgA, and IgE Levels in Children with Chronic Sinusitis

Background and purpose: Sinusitis is a common disease in children that can lead to acute and chronic problems and sometimes severe complications. There is lack of evidence on underlying causes of chronic sinusitis in children in Iran, so, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of humoral immune deficiency in patients with chronic sinusitis. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional s...

Competition between Serum IgG, IgM, and IgA Anti-Glycan Antibodies

Anti-glycan antibodies are an abundant subpopulation of serum antibodies with critical functions in many immune processes. Changes in the levels of these antibodies can occur with the onset of disease, exposure to pathogens, or vaccination. As a result, there has been significant interest in exploiting anti-glycan antibodies as biomarkers for many diseases. Serum contains a mixture of anti-glyc...
