Abstract
An immunological study of 40 patients with frozen shoulder [adhesive capsulitis] showed a pretreatment increase in immune complex levels, C-reactive protein, and decreased lymphocyte transformation to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A compared to a control group. Repeat estimations after 8 mo. showed that values tended to approach control levels.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
