Monitoring of serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) level and its clinical value in paediatric practice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article deals with the clinical value of monitoring serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in patients with allergic diseases, especially bronchial asthma in paediatric practice. We confirmed the seasonal increase of serum ECP level in group of patients with bronchial asthma especially with higher total IgE level.

Level 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...
متن کاملClinical value of monitoring eosinophil activity in asthma.
To evaluate the use of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in monitoring disease activity in childhood asthma, serum ECP in 175 asthmatic children was assessed. Forty five patients with cystic fibrosis, 23 with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), and 87 healthy children were used as controls. Serum ECP concentrations (34.3 micrograms/l v 9.8 micrograms/l) were significantly higher in child...
متن کاملEosinophils and eosinophil-derived proteins in children with moderate asthma.
Laboratory parameters can contribute to the diagnosis of asthma, which is often a difficult procedure in paediatric patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) in the diagnosis of paediatric asthma. The number of eosinophils, serum ECP and EDN, and urinary EDN were determined in 22 children with stable...
متن کاملEosinophilic activation in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND The neutrophil is a potent contributor to pulmonary destruction in cystic fibrosis. Since eosinophils also possess destructive potential the involvement of eosinophils in cystic fibrosis has been investigated. METHODS Eosinophil numbers and levels of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), a marker of eosinophil activation, were determined in the serum of 42 patients with cystic fibrosi...
متن کاملRelationship between disease severity and inflammatory markers in cystic fibrosis.
To evaluate the clinical use of measuring neutrophil, lymphocyte, and eosinophil activities, serum myeloperoxidase (MPO), soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R), and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) were measured in 98 patients with cystic fibrosis and in 85 healthy children. Serum concentrations of MPO, sIL-2R, and ECP were increased in patients with cystic fibrosis (median 807 micrograms/l...
