Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is characterized by a variety of atypical symptoms attributed to EMF exposure. Diagnostic markers are lacking and research of these biomarkers could greatly help understanding this syndrome. The present study aimed to look to the pattern of some selected biological markers of immunological system in EHS individuals. In this regard, we compared levels of immunoglobulin A, neopterin and C Reactive Protein between patient with EHS and their matched control group. In our study, we failed to show a strong marker from immunological system despite a difference in participants according to the EHS duration for neopterin (difference between subgroups between short-term and long term affected participants).
