Abstract
Retrospective review of serum immunoglobulin levels in 78 methotrexate treated paediatric rheumatology patients showed that IgG, IgA, and IgM levels fell significantly by 26%, 21%, and 17% respectively while on methotrexate. Six patients with systemic disease showed a fall in IgG to below the normal range.
