ABSTRACT

The incidence and significance of class specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA), specially with relevance to clinical manifestations of arthritis, renal disease and serositis was studied in 40 patients of systemic lupus erythematosus by the indirect immunofluorescent method. Clinical activity was scored by Morimoto's scoring system. A significant correlation was obtained between IgD ANA and clinical activity of the disease and IgG ANA exhibiting lupus pattern of immunofluorescence and serositis.

ABSTRACT

Serum immunoglobulin G, A, M, D and E levels were determined in the forest-dwelling Orang Asli of age group 8 to 64 years. The levels are higher than observed for urban Malaysians and comparable to levels reported for populations residing in the tropics. There was no significant difference in serum levels of all the immunoglobulins studied in both sexes. The elevated serum immunoglobulins levels are discussed in terms of the nature of the immune defence developed in the Orang Asli to contend with the many parasites prevalent in their environment.
