 AB    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated, like
       allergic diseases, with altered T cell regulation. Total serum IgE
       levels were measured in 65 infected patients. The mean IgE level of
       subjects with a T lymphocytes number < or = 200/mmc was greater than
       mean IgE level of subjects with a T cell number > 200/mmc. No prevalence
       of atopic diseases was noted in the two groups. The elevation of IgE may
       be related to a difference in IgE regulatory lymphokines produced by T
       lymphocytes.
