Abstract
Immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity, total and specific serum Ig[immunoglobulin]E and serum IgG4 concentrations were compared in 44 patients with cystic fibrosis, 67 parents and 39 controls. The patients had increased prick test reactions and specific IgE to Aspergillus fumigatus. The development of reactions to A. fumigatus correlated with the severity of the disease. There were no other significant differences when serum total IgE, specific IgE and IgG4 concentrations or skin test reactivity were compared in the patients, parents and controls.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
