[Case of enzyme-linked immunoglobulin with persistent elevation of lactate dehydrogenase activity in serum by administration of an anti-psychotic drug].

We presented a case, who showed extremely high activity of lactate dehydogenase (LD) and confirmed the presence of the LD linked immunoglobulin in her serum. The maximum activity of LD was 6830 IU/L, and the electrophoretic pattern of LD isozymes showed the broad spectrum from isozyme LD2 to LD5. Analysis by counter immuno electrophoresis revealed that immunogloblin was attached to the M subunit of LD and its subtype was an IgG, lambda-chain.
