AB  - BACKGROUND: High affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptors may activate the mast 
      cell degradation; on the other hand, the ones of low affinity may activate B 
      lymphocytes so they act as antigen-presenting cells and as producers of the same 
      immunoglobulin. As allergic patients produce a great quantity of IgE they are 
      prone to get an infection. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the IgE increase in 28 patients 
      with allergic rhinitis or asthma, or both without having received a previous 
      treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 38 patients with allergic rhinitis, bronchial 
      asthma, allergic conjunctivitis or atopic dermatitis diagnosis were included. B 
      lymphocytes and NK cells immunophenotypification was made. Flow cytometry was 
      used for cells lecture. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics applying 
      central tendency measurements. RESULTS: No variations were found in the values of 
      any cell lineage. CONCLUSIONS: Proliferation and activation of B lymphocytes 
      should be considered in allergic diseases as its quantification in serum may be a 
      measurement parameter of allergic activity.
