Summary A case of eggwhite allergy and a case offish allergy, where complement‐fixation by thermostable IgG‐class antibody was positive at extremely high antigen dilutions are described. The antibody in eggwhite allergy was of the precipitating variety and the C‐fixation phenomenon was not related to the presence or absence of IgE antibody.
