Levels of serum immunoglobulins in patients with acute and chronic inflammation of the appendix

The author analyzes, based on examinations of IgA, IgG and IgM immunoglobulin levels in a group of 130 patients with acute and chronic appendicitis the possibility to improve diagnosis of the disease based on changes of the above values. The investigation of these levels was stimulated by the hypothesis that the appendix in mammals plays a similar role as Fabricius' bursa in birds. The assembled results do not confirm that reduced values of these immunoglobulins are one of the causes of appendicitis and the method is not asset as regards improvement of diagnostic possibilities.
