The study of humoral immunity function and the short- and long-term effective of immunoglobulin treatment in intractable childhood epilepsy / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the short and long term effective and the changes of the immunoglobulin and complements after immunoglobulins therapy in intractable childhood epilepsy.Methods:To observe the clinical efficacy of 6 month～1 year in 36 cases with intractable epilepsy was treated added immunoglobulins and to detect the immunoglobulins and complements 3、4、CH50 which were measured by using ELISA and nephelometry method in them and 22 healthy children were control group and to comparing the changers among them in match before and after treatment.Results:The result showed that the efficacy was 17 cases to be ceased entirely,in 5 cases the attacks markedly improved, the other 6 cases improvement too,and remained 8 cases unchanged, the total effective rate of short term was 77 8%,28 cases following over one years, of them 13(46 4%)attacks repeated, the long term effective rate was 53 6%.The present time of clinical efficacy was in a week,EEG improvement at same time.The results of humoral immunity Ig and C3,C4,CH50 were lower in epilepsy group than in control group (P
