EVALUATION OF SERUM IgG SUBCLASS LEVELS IN ASTHMATIC AND ATOPIC CHILDREN WITH RECURRENT INFECTION
Serum IgG subclass levels were measured using an indirect immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) with monoclonal antibodies in 16 children with asthma and 13 children with atopy who had mostly recurrent infections. Seven of the asthmatic children had marked low or low normal levels of IgG4, six had marked low or low normal levels of IgG 3, two had marked low normal levels of both IgG2, and IgG 3 and...
متن کاملAtopic profile of asthmatic children in Bahrain.
This study aimed to define the profile of asthmatic children in Bahrain and the prevalence of sensitization to aeroallergens and foods. A total of 95 children who were clinically diagnosed with asthma were enrolled: 71.6% mild, 20.0% moderate and 8.4% severe asthma (NIH criteria). Serum IgE concentrations were elevated (> 200 kU/L) in 21.1% of patients and highly elevated (> 400 kU/L) in 9.5%. ...
متن کاملSerum interleukin 5 concentrations in atopic and non-atopic patients with glucocorticoid-dependent chronic severe asthma.
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-5 is thought to play a part in asthmatic bronchial mucosal inflammation and is a potential therapeutic target. Detectable serum IL-5 concentrations have been found previously in a proportion of patients with acute severe asthma, but not in the same patients following oral glucocorticoid therapy or in normal controls. A study was undertaken to investigate whether or n...

Wood, C. B. S., and Oliver, J. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 890. Serum IgE in asthmatic children: relation to age, sex, eczema, and skin sensitivity tests. A simple method was used to detect raised serum concentrations of IgE immunoglobulin in 237 asthmatic children. The lower limit of sensitivity of the method was 900 units/ml. 49% of the children were found to have concentrat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Levels of Calprotectin in Asthmatic Children
Background Calprotectin is a cytosolic protein that belongs to the S-100 protein group with immunomodulatory and antiproliferative actions. The level of this protein increases in infection, inflammation, and malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of...
