Environmental and occupational respiratory diseases – 1061. The change of eosinophil, serum level of ECP, and interleukin-5 during mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in atopic children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background A number of studies have outlined mechanisms by which mycoplasma infection may promote allergic lung inflammation. In addition, there is increasing evidence from human studies suggesting that mycoplasma infection contribute to asthma exacerbations, and severity with the change of cytokines. The present study evaluated the change of serum levels of eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein, and interleukin-5 in atopic children with Mycoplasma pneumonia infection.

PURPOSE Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MP) is associated with the exacerbation, timing, and onset of asthma. The goal of this study was to elucidate the impact of MP on eosinophil-related hyper-reactive amplification in atopic children. METHODS We studied 48 patients with MP (26 atopic, 22 non-atopic), between 3 and 12 years of age. Serial changes in blood eosinophil counts, serum interleuk...

BACKGROUND To study the role played by eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in patients with Mycoplasma pneumonia infection. METHODS Pediatric patients aged 4 to 14 years old were divided into 3 groups, each consisting of 30 patients. Group 1 comprised patients with known M. pneumoniae infection. Group 2 comprised patients with asthma who were in a stable condition with no infection, acute asthm...

Methods Seventy seven infants with atopic dermatitis were enrolled, who visited pediatric allergy clinic of Busan St. Mary’s Medical Center from January 2005 to January 2012. Infants with serum protein level was lower than normal range for age were classified to Group A (n=27) and normalto Group B (n=50). Age, sex, family history of allergy, and SCORAD score were studied. We examined platelet c...

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections especially in children, and antibiotics affecting the cell wall do not affect this type of infection. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and macrolide resistance in children with community-acquired pneumonia in Kerman city. Methods: This cross-sectional study...

PURPOSE Previous studies have outlined mechanisms by which Mycoplasma pneumonia (M. pneumonia) infection may promote allergic lung inflammation and airway remodeling, and increasing evidence from human studies suggests that atypical bacterial infections contribute to asthma exacerbation, chronic asthma, and disease severity with changes in cytokine expression. The present study evaluated change...
