Immunoglobulin G subclasses in recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Abstract

Serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses were examined in 71 adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MiRAS). Seven patients (10%) had altered IgG subclasses: six had marginally raised IgG1 levels and one had a low level of IgG3. It is concluded that abnormalities of IgG subclass levels do not underlie MiRAS.
