Popis: Selective IgA deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency and it is often associated with atopy, recurrent infections and high IgE levels. Some small studies demonstrated the association between low serum level of IgE and selective IgA deficiency. Aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of selective IgA deficiency and IgE deficiency in our hospital during the period of 2007-2008, and to investigate the association between them. Material and methods: During the period of 2007-2008, our laboratory performed 12 675 eletrophoresis of serum proteins and total IgE measurements. We collected data (frequency of respiratory tract infections, history of atopy) in patients with selective IgA deficiency (IgA level
