PG  - 2644-5
AB  - Increased plasma levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) are encountered in various 
      clinical settings, most often infection or atopic/allergic disease. IgE, however, 
      is neither a sensitive, nor a specific marker for any particular disease. We 
      describe a case of a 52-year-old woman presenting with non-specific symptoms and 
      increased plasma IgE levels on admission. Atopy/allergy, infection and malignancy 
      were ruled out, and the only plausible cause remained a pulmonary embolism found 
      incidentally on a computed tomography. The patient's IgE levels rapidly declined 
      after the initiation of anticoagulant therapy.
