Levels of sCD25 were higher among patients than among normal controls and they correlated significantly with sCD23, and FEV1 %, but, not with methacholine PC20. Levels of sCD23 were not higher among patients than among normal controls and did not correlate with methacholine PC20, pulmonry function and total IgE level.
CONCLUSION:
It appears that sCD25 is related to airway obstruction in bronchial asthma. But, the clinical implications of these markers should be further examined.
