TI  - Serum IgE levels in amoebiasis.
PG  - 565-7
AB  - Elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) are found in many parasitic 
      diseases. In order to determine the influence of Entamoeba histolytica on IgE 
      levels of clinically symptomatic patients with intestinal amoebiasis, a 
      controlled study was performed. There was no difference between the serum IgE 
      values from Brazilian patients with amoebiasis and those from age-, race- and 
      sex-matched normal Brazilian controls. Based also on our previous similar studies 
      on giardiasis and Chagas' disease, we conclude that protozoan infections do not 
      elevate serum IgE levels.
