    Summary: Providing core information on pediatric surgery, this book serves as a supplement to standard pediatric surgical textbooks. It offers pearls of wisdom that will help those who participate in pediatric surgical care, as well as to provide state-of-the-art insights based on physiological principles, literature reviews, and clinical experience. This book is an ideal tool to help readers prepare for questions they will be asked on ward rounds, in the OR, or in oral exams. The depth of exploration is intended for medical students, residents in pediatrics and pediatric surgery, pediatric surgical trainees, pediatric nurse practitioners, primary care pediatricians, and family practitioners.

    Parasite specific IgE antibodies in rats infected with Schistosoma manoni were measured by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reactions and by the technique of immuno-adsorption. Two strains, one a low IgE producer (Fischer rats) and the other a high IgE producer (Hooded-Lister rats) were studied. In Fischer rats, a time course study of the occurrence of IgE antibodies and resistance to reinfection was made. Parasite specific IgE levels measured by immuno-adsorpiton were much lower than total IgE levels and a similar percentage of specific IgE (about 8%) was in the two strains.IgE antibodies were maximum at day 30 and day 60 after infection; however, a third peak at day 90 was observed only in Fischer rats. Some discrepancies between results obtained by PCA and immunosorbent techniques have been observed, which could be explained by differences in the affinity of IgE antibodies during infection or by the presence of total IgE in the PCA assay. There was a close parallelism between specific IgE antibodies levels and the course of immunity in Fischer rats. This parallelism supports the view that IgE could play a pre-eminent role in protective immunity in rat schistosomiasis.
