Quantification of circulating house dust mite‐specific <scp>IL</scp>‐4‐ and <scp>IL</scp>‐13‐secreting <scp>T</scp> cells correlates with rhinitis severity in asthmatic children and varies with the seasons

Abstract

Allergen-specific IL-4- and IL-13-producing T cells were only detected in HDM-allergic asthmatic children (not in patients with non-allergic asthma). Their numbers correlated with clinical severity of allergic rhinitis.
