Tóm tắt

Alterations of immunocompetence in various mental disorders have been reported. We studied white blood cell counts and immunoglobulin levels in 59 panic disorder patients and 30 controls. The significantly increased IgA levels and tendency toward increase in other immunoglobulins in panic disorder patients suggest an immune dysfunction.
