is serum or sputum eosinophil cationic protein level adequate for diagnosis of mild asthma?
spirometry has been used as a common diagnostic test in asthma. most of the patients with a mild asthma have a fev1 within normal range. hence, other diagnostic methods are usually used. the aim of this study was to evaluate whether eosinophil cationic protein (ecp) could be an accurate diagnostic marker of mild asthma. in this study diagnosis of asthma was made according to internationally acc...
متن کاملThe effect of montelukast on eosinophil apoptosis: induced sputum findings of patients with mild persistent asthma.
BACKGROUND Apoptosis may be important in limiting airway eosinophilia. Treatment with leukotriene antagonists decreases the number of eosinophils in both peripheral blood and sputum. AIM To assess the effect of montelukast on eosinophil apoptosis in a group of patients with mild persistent asthma (MPA) and to compare this effect with the apoptotic effect of fluticasone propionate (FP). METH...
متن کاملReduced eosinophil apoptosis in induced sputum correlates with asthma severity.
This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between induced sputum eosinophil apoptosis and clinical severity score, airway obstruction and symptom scores in patients with chronic stable asthma. Altogether, 41 chronic stable asthmatic subjects of varying severity defined by Aas score and 17 control subjects underwent spirometry, symptom questionnaire and successful sputum inducti...
متن کاملAsthma exacerbations and sputum eosinophil counts: a randomised controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Treatment decisions in asthma are based on assessments of symptoms and simple measures of lung function, which do not relate closely to underlying eosinophilic airway inflammation. We aimed to assess whether a management strategy that minimises eosinophilic inflammation reduces asthma exacerbations compared with a standard management strategy. METHODS We recruited 74 patients with ...
متن کاملLevel of Eosinophil Cationic Protein in Sputum of Chemical Warfare Victims
Objective(s) Considering fair response to inhaled corticosteroids and reports of severe air way hyper responsiveness in chemical warfare victims (CWV), a role for eosinophilic inflammation (i.e. asthma) was postulated. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of eosinophilic inflammation in CWV by evaluation of Sputum cellularity and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). Materials...
