[Quantitative behavior of immunoglobulins in Hodgkin patients following splenectomy]
Blut
|May 1, 1975
The values of immunoglobulins in 14 patients with malignant lymphoma were determined before and 1 to 44 weeks following splenectomy. The IgM-fraction showed a significant decrease in all cases, whereas the IgG- and IgA-fraction showed no change in its concentrations. The reason for the IgM-decrease is probably due to the absence of IgM-producing cells in the spleen.
