Abstract

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, allergic asthma, aged 4-14 yrs, and in 17 age-matched healthy controls. Symptoms were monitored, the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was recorded in the younger children, and lung function tests (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and the provocative concentration of histamine causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20)) were performed in the older children. None of the asthmatic children had respiratory symptoms. PEFR was not significantly different in asthmatic children compared to controls. The FEV1 % predicted was significantly lower compared to controls. The number of eosinophils, serum ECP and EDN, and urinary EDN were significantly higher in asthmatic children compared with controls. After correction of serum ECP and EDN, and urinary EDN for the number of eosinophils, the differences between patients and controls disappeared. T...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
