[Local immune responses in gonorrheal cervicitis]
Abstract
Endocervical biopsies taken from 74 female patients with gonorrhea and 18 healthy women were investigated by means of fluorescence with regard to the evidence of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4, fibrinogen, lysozyme, and N. gonorrhoeae. Whereas C3, C4, fibrinogen, lysozyme, and N. gonorrhoeae were especially observed in the early stages of the disease, the amount of plasma cells producing IgA and IgG were found increased in the advanced stages of gonorrhea.
