چکیده
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 concentrations of 1000 units/ml or over. Among those who had asthma and either past

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...

متن کاملUse of the skin prick test and specific immunoglobulin E for the diagnosis of cockroach allergy.
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of allergy to cockroaches (Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana) in asthmatic and non-asthmatic children and to determine the degree of agreement between the skin prick test and serum specific IgE levels, as well as to establish the relationship between cockroach allergy and total IgE levels. METHODS A case-control study involving 76 asthmatic and ...

Serum eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and soluble low affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RII/sCD23) concentrations were measured in relation to symptom-medication scores, pulmonary function, and total IgE levels in 27 chronic allergic asthmatic children (17 boys, 10 girls), mean age 10.8 years, before and at the end of a three month inhaled corticosteroid (budesonide) treatment period.
