AB - Abstract We report the case of a 67-year-old man who developed an autoantibody against lactate dehydrogenase (LD) in association with an episode of pericarditis following soon after myocardial infarction and streptokinase treatment. This anti-LD was shown to he an IgM antibody. The alteration in LD isoenzyme electrophoretic pattern caused by this IgM anti-LD was modified by treatment with dithiothreitol. The molecular size of the LD-antibody complex established by gel filtration was consistent with an LD-IgM interaction. This temporal association of an IgM anti-LD primary immune response after streptokinase infusion suggests that streptokinase may play an etiologic role in stimulating formation of anti-LD antibodies.
