Serum IgG, IgA and IgM levels of 91 patients with alveolar echinococcosis and 83 patients with cystic echinococcosis were compared with 104 healthy adults as controls by single radial immunodiffusion. The mean IgG, IgA and IgM concentrations in patients with alveolar echinococcosis and the mean IgG and IgM levels in patients with cystic echinococcosis were found to be significantly higher than those of the normal controls. The mean IgG, IgA and IgM levels in patients with alveococcosis were 510 +/- 413.06, 389.45 +/- 433.42 and 313.48 +/- 255.19, while those in cystococcosis were 308.36 +/- 339.24, 329.61 +/- 319 and 266.68 +/- 255.68 respectively. The geometric mean of IgG and IgM levels in patients with alveococcosis was 1.67 and 1.25 times that in cystococcosis. 76.9% of alveococcosis patients had IgG levels reaching 200 IU/ml or above, being significantly higher than that in the cystic hydatidosis (50.6%). 93.4% of alveolar echinococcosis cases showed elevated IgM levels up to 100 IU/ml or more, being also significantly higher than that of cystic echinococcosis cases (78.3). Statistically, there was significant correlation between IgG concentration and ELISA antibody titre.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses. Globulins, Immune,Immune Globulin,Immune Globulins,Immunoglobulin,Globulin, Immune
D004443 Echinococcosis An infection caused by the infestation of the larval form of tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. The liver, lungs, and kidney are the most common areas of infestation.

D004444 Echinococcosis, Hepatic Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).
