[Serum eosinophil cationic protein in infants during first wheezing episode].
Arerugī = [Allergy] 1996 November
We measured serum ECP levels in infants during first wheezing episode. Serum ECP in these infants are significantly higher than in control infants, although much higher in children with asthma. Serum ECP in these infants with high serum IgE and/or positive RAST score are higher than in infants with normal serum IgE and negative RAST score. In children with bronchial asthma serum ECP is correlated with peripheral eosinophil counts, but in infants during first wheezing episode serum ECP is often elevated not associated with increased peripheral eosinophil counts. These suggest that activated eosinophils could be responsible for bronchoconstriction in wheezing patients with atopic diathesis even in very early phase and that these eosinophilic inflammations could contribute to formation of increased airway reactivity and bronchial asthma.
