TI  - Lack of immunoglobulin E response to longstanding strongyloidiasis.
PG  - 292-4
AB  - Patients harbouring worm infections usually have very marked elevations of serum 
      immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentration. However, in a group of twenty ex-Far East 
      prisoners of war with strongyloidiasis only two (10%) had raised levels due to 
      the worm, and these were only moderately elevated. This poor IgE response may be 
      related to the very longstanding nature of the infection (at least 30 years). The 
      patients may have a form of immunological incompetence, or may have become 
      immunologically tolerant to the parasite.
