摘要: Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM and IgD) complement components of both the classical alternative pathways (C1q, C3 C4, factor B) were measured in sera 15 Nigerian patients with proven amoebic liver abscess compared 30 age-matched controls. B significantly higher patients. The differences IgG, IgM, IgD, C1q C4 levels between controls not significant.
