S-specific IgG is related to pulmonary function and hypoxia. S-specific IgG levels are increased in patients with impaired lung function and hypoxia at the 60-day follow-up. Serum S-specific IgG concentrations in patients with any impairment of lung function (including reduced FEV1, FVC, TLC, or DLCO), reduction of diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), or significant hypoxia (defined by an arterial pO₂ < 65 mmHg) are shown. P-values were calculated with the Mann–Whitney U test. N_60days = 145; N_100days = 135; N_180days = 118.
