TI  - Atopy and immunoglobulin E concentrations in Hodgkin's disease and other 
      lymphomas.
PG  - 327-9
AB  - Serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentrations are increased in Hodgkin's disease 
      (HD) but not in other types of lymphoma. The prevalence of atopic disease is 
      similar to normal in both groups. Patients with high IgE concentrations and HD 
      were separated into atopic and non-atopic groups, which were found to differ 
      clinically. Atopic patients had a significantly lower incidence of night sweats, 
      fever, and weight loss, and treatment had no significant lasting effect on their 
      IgE concentrations. In the non-atopic group there was a striking correlation 
      between high IgE concentrations and a histological appearance of nodular 
      sclerosis, particularly in the presence of night sweats, fever, and weight loss. 
      Successful treatment in the non-atopic group led to a noticeable fall in IgE 
      concentrations, in most cases to normal, though on relapse of the disease they 
      rose again.
