Abstract
159 adolescents recently arrived from Ethyopia underwent a checkup including: interrogation, physical examination, blood picture, stool analyses and immunoglobulin A, G, M and E determination. No allergy symptoms were reported in the past or recorded at physical examination. Massive parasitic infection was found in the stools and high blood eosinophils counts as well. Immunoglobulin levels were compared with values obtained in our laboratories for a group of normal, healthy, non allergic, Israeli born adolescents having no evidence of any parasitic infection.The Ethiopian newcomers are under medical treatment and follow-up. They are at present undergoing a re-examination which includes in addition to all parameters mentioned in the first place, also skin test to common allergens and FEVI measurements. Comparing the recent results to the previous we shall be able to discuss the role of IgE levels and environmental factors in the ethiopathogenesis of allergy.
