Immunoglobulin levels in SFD newborn babies

The IgG, IgA and IgM levels were determined by the technique of radial immunodiffusion of Mancini et al. in 40 SFD and 30 normal control newborn infants. The mean value of IgG concentrations was found to be raised but without statistical significance when compared with control. On the contrary the increased mean amounts of IgM were statistically significant.
