[Serum immunoglobulin E level in bronchial asthma].

K Denchev, M Radkov, N Lipcheva

    Vutreshni Bolesti
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with bronchial asthma show significantly elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, averaging 394 IU compared to controls (124 IU). This elevation is particularly pronounced in infectious-allergic asthma cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Allergology
    • Pulmonology

    Context:

    • Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by airway inflammation.
    • Elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are often associated with allergic conditions.
    • Understanding IgE levels in asthma patients is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose:

    • To determine serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in patients with bronchial asthma.
    • To investigate potential correlations between IgE levels and different clinical forms of asthma.
    • To compare IgE levels in asthma patients treated with and without corticosteroids.

    Summary:

    • Serum IgE levels were quantified in 50 bronchial asthma patients using radial immunodiffusion.
    • A significant elevation in average serum IgE was observed (394 IU vs. 124 IU in controls).
    • Infectious-allergic asthma exhibited the highest IgE levels (424 IU), with no significant difference between corticosteroid-treated and untreated patients.

    Impact:

    • Provides evidence for widespread IgE elevation in bronchial asthma patients.
    • Highlights the potential role of IgE in the pathogenesis of different asthma phenotypes.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding IgE monitoring in asthma management.
