Role of eosinophils in childhood asthma inflammation

Pediatric Pulmonology. Supplement
P Venge

Abstract

The serum levels of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) are raised in asthmatic children and indicate an eosinophil involving inflammatory process of the lungs. ECP measurements in serum may be used to monitor the severity of asthma in children and the efficacy of treatment with inhaled corticosteroids as well as to monitor allergen exposure. From these rather indirect studies we suspect that the inflammatory process in childhood asthma is the same as that seen in adults and involves the eosinophils.

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.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

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.
