Abstract
Of atopic patients initially presenting with infantile eczema or hay fever, 27% were defective for yeast opsonization and 18% had low levels of C2 [complement component 2]; these deficiencies were mutually exclusive, suggesting that they are primary. Both defects were associated with each of 4 different atopic syndromes, some of which were related to certain HLA haplotypes.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
