Enhanced serum neutrophil chemotactic activity was noted in both early and late asthmatic responses during lysine-aspirin bronchoprovocation test in ASA-sensitive asthmatic patients.
To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of late asthmatic response in comparison to early asthmatic response, changes of serum neutrophil chemotactic activity (NCA) using the Boyden chamber method and histamine level using the automated fluorometric analyzer were observed in 13 aspirin (ASA)-sensitive asthma subjects (group I: 7 early responders and group II: 6 dual responders) during lysine as...
متن کاملComplete Resolution of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Aspirin-sensitive Asthmatic Patients
Appreciable numbers of aspirin-sensitive asthmatic patients have chronic steroid-dependent severe asthmatic symptoms. We report four cases of aspirin-sensitive asthmatics who had mild to severe asthmatic symptoms, whose methacholine PC20 level ranged from 0.6 to 22 mg/ml at the first visit. The aspirin sensitivity was confirmed by lysine-aspirin bronchoprovocation. After anti-asthmatic medicati...
متن کاملLow plasma cortisol concentrations during late asthmatic responses.
Thirteen atopic patients with asthma volunteered to take part in the study. All had a history of episodic dyspnoea with wheezing or chest tightness on exposure to allergens (house dust, Candida albicans, and wheat flours). None had received corticosteroids therapeutically. Allergen inhalation tests showed that five of the patients had late asthmatic responses alone, four had immediate asthmatic...
متن کاملSalivary Flow Rate and pH in Asthmatic and Non-Asthmatic Patients
Background and Aim: Saliva is an essential fluid for protecting the mouth, and any change in its quality or quantity affects the health of the oral cavity. Asthma and the medications used to treat it may decrease salivary flow and change salivary components, including changes in the pH of the dental plaque. The purpose of this study was to determine the salivary flow and pH in asthmatic and non...
متن کاملSerum interleukins 6 and 8 in mild and severe asthmatic patients, is it difference?
Background: About 5–10% of patients with asthma suffer from poorly-controlled disease despite corticosteroid (CS) therapy. Methods: 21 severe and 30 mild asthma patients were recruited and underwent collection of blood sample. We determined whether there were any differences in inflammatory biomarkers between severe and mild asthma patients or not.Results: Levels of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Int...
