[The detection of cytokine and immunoglobulin in sera of children with respiratory papillomatosis].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the levels and effects of cytokine and immunoglobulin on children with respiratory papillomatosis(RP). METHOD: The levels of cytokine and immunoglobulin in sera of 23 patients with RP were measured by ELISA and immunoassay and were compared with the normal data published by our department of Laboratory. RESULT: The levels of cytokine in RP group were significantly higher than that of normal group and the levels of immunoglobulin in RP group was significantly lower than that of normal group. CONCLUSION: The result shows that there are immune deficiency and abnormal immune reponse with cytokine in the RP patients.
