Serum Antibody Response in Sarcoidosis.

Abstract
Summary Five patients with active sarcoidosis were immunized with typhoid-paratyphoid mixed vaccine. Antibody levels were determined after primary and secondary stimulation. When compared with the response of an identically immunized group of normal subjects, the sarcoid group responded in a normal fashion. They produced similar levels of 19S or macroglobulin antibodies after primary immunization, and subsequently of 7S antibodies following secondary immunization.
