Serum levels of total IgE and soluble CD23 in bronchial asthma

Serum levels of total IgE and soluble CD23 in bronchial asthma

The aim of the present study was to compare, during the pollen season, serum levels of total IgE and soluble CD23 (sCD23) from patients with allergic bronchial asthma, with those from healthy subjects. Significantly higher levels of total IgE and sCD23 were found in patients with asthma compared to the control group. Both in normal controls and in asthmatic patients, a significant correlation w...

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS RELATED TO TOTAL SERUM IgE LEVELS IN CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

We investigated characteristics of 140 children with asthma (91 males, 49 females) aged 3-15 years in Dicle University Hospital. Information about patient . characteristics were obtained from charts and the parents. Serum totallgE levels were found significantly correlated with blood eosinophil count (r=O.46,p=O.00 1), intensity of indoor smoking (r=O.40, p=O.03) and with number of household (r...

Susceptibility loci regulating total serum IgE levels, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and clinical asthma map to chromosome 5q.

Serum levels of IL-17A increase in Asthma but not in accordance with Serum level of IgE and Asthma Severity

Background and Aims: Recent evidence suggests that T helper (Th) 17 cells are involved in the emergence of asthma. Th17 cells have a key role in inducing inflammation in asthmatic airways thus Interleukin (IL)-17A, the main cytokine of Th17, contributes to airways inflammation. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the level of IL-17A and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in sera of 100 asthmatic p...

Association of HLA-Class II and IgE Serum Levels in Pediatric Asthma

Background: Pediatric bronchial asthma is associated with considerable morbidity. The study was carried out to examine the association of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)- Class II with the disease as we found no similar study on Asian Indian population. Objective: To define the HLA-Class II antigens in Asian Indian pediatric patients with asthma. Methods: A total of 103 children with asthma and 1...
