[Immunoglobulin E level in acute Yersinia infection]
IgG, IgE, IgA, IgM levels were measured in patients with yersiniosis (generalized or mixed variant). Acute period of the disease (week 1-2) was associated with elevated levels of IgE in 59.1% of the patients which returned to normal on week 4-6. Time course changes in IgA, IgG and IgM concentrations were related to the synthesis of specific antibodies. IgE level rise can be considered a defence mechanism contributing to elimination of yersinia antigens from the body.
