Abstract
Children with adenoid hyperplasia and secretory otitis media show significantly lower immunoglobulin A (sIgA) concentrations in their saliva compared to matched controls. Salivary albumin and cortisol levels do not differ in both groups. Changes in local immunity, dilution or stress as possible factors for the reduction of sIgA concentrations are discussed.Entities:
