Abstract
A patient with cervical carcinoma was found to have selective IgA deficiency. The intact cell-mediated immunity, normal levels of IgG and IgM, and the absence of serum and salivary IgA established the diagnosis. Contrary to those of normal persons, salivary IgM was elevated and salivary IgA was not detectable in this patient. The patient had no signs attributable to IgA deficiency, but she always had dryness of the mouth. The association between cervical carcinoma and selective IgA deficiency was discussed.
