Gamma Globulin Levels in Psychiatric Patients

Year: 1972

Type: article

Abstract: Levels of three classes of immunoglobulins, Ig G, Ig A and Ig M, were determined in a group of carefully selected, drug-free, psychiatric patients. Significant elevation of Ig M occurred in female patients as compared to controls but did not occur in males. This elevation did not appear to be related to schizophrenia. There was also an apparent relationship between severe disorganizing levels of anxiety and increased Ig A values.
