AB  - Immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgE) levels, total protein, albumin and globulin levels as well as serum protein electrophoresis were done in twenty adult patients aged between 16 and 65 years with various lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative disorders. Immunoglobulin M levels were significantly increased in the newly diagnosed untreated patients but were found to be normal in patients on chemotherapy. Patients with lymphoproliferative disorders had significantly lower IgE levels than the control subjects. Immunoglobulin G levels were lower in all the patients than the control subjects. In patients on chemotherapy, the total protein levels were significantly low compared with the controls.
