TI  - Levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in paired examinations of serum and synovial 
      fluid in rheumatoid arthritis and reactive synovitis of local origin.
PG  - 293-8
AB  - Levels of IgE were examined in pairs of serum and synovial fluid of the knee 
      joint in a series of 78 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), reactive 
      synovitis during osteoarthrosis, and after injury. The IgE levels in synovial 
      fluid were significantly lower (p less than 0.05) in all groups; in RA, they were 
      in significant correlation (r=0.6208, p less than 0.0001) and in direct linear 
      regression to the levels in serum. In 5 patients of the whole series, however, 
      the IgE levels in serum were lower by one order of magnitude as compared with 
      synovial fluid. Serum levels of IgE in RA were in significant correlation and in 
      direct linear regression to the titres of rheumatoid factors according to the 
      latex-fixation test (r=0.3688, p=0.0249) and the haemagglutination test with 
      sheep red cells (r=0.3721, p=0.0235).
