Abstract
Blood chemistry determinations, including serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels, were correlated with bacterial flora within root canals of subjects with endodontic flare-ups. Except for a several-fold rise in IgE, all serum immunoglobulin levels and blood chemistry results were within normal limits. Endotoxin-producing gram-negative obligate anerobes were cultured from all but one subject.
