Abstract
Low serum IgA levels were found in patients taking phenytoin, together with evidence of depressed T cell function. There was no correlation between the dose or the serum level. A correlation was found, however, with HL-A status, patients with a low IgA showing increased frequency of HL-A2. It is suggested that epileptic patients with HL-A2 status are likely to develop IgA deficiency when given phenytoin.Entities:
