Immunoglobulin E response during viral infections 1979-08-31 .txt text/plain 1655 98 55 Abstract One hundred and three patients (90 nonatopics and 13 atopics) with respiratory infections to various viral agents were studied retrospectively with respect to IgE immunoglobulin levels during acute (1 to 7 days) and convalescent (8 to 30 days) phases of infection. One hundred and three patients (90 nonatopics and 13 atopics) with respiratory i!fections to curious viral ugents were studied retrospectively with respect to IgE immunoglobulin levels during acute (I to 7 days) and convalescent (8 to 30 days) phases of infection. Clinical studies dating back almost 40 yr have suggested that upper respiratory tract infections are associated with bronchial asthma and can precipitate or potentiate attacks of bronchial asthma', ' and wheezing in asthmatic patients. In the present study, it was found that naturally occurring viral respiratory infections modulated serum IgE levels in both nonatopic as well as atopic individuals. ./cache/cord-269181-1h3wbhq4.txt ./txt/cord-269181-1h3wbhq4.txt
