Allergy to pigeon tick (Argas reflexus): demonstration of specific IgE-binding components.

abstract：:The prevalence of IgE myeloma is 0.01% in all plasmocytomas. Although signs and symptoms are similar, it is generally accepted that IgE myeloma has a more malignant clinical course than other forms of plasmocytoma with monoclonal gammopathy. The disease has widely variable presentation. Most of the reported cases were...
