ABSTRACT
Special form of sensori-neural hearing loss [low frequency syndrome] was studied for autoimmune profile. Routine laboratory tests and antigen nonspecific tests [IgG, IgA, IgM and Clq] were carried out. Detection of autoantibodies [ANA, AMA and ASMA] were also done. There was a striking hyperglobulinemia and detection of autoantibodies. The positive screening tests of an autoimmune profile suggested type II or type III immunologic mechanism of injury
