Serial Changes in Serum Eosinophil-associated Mediators between Atopic and Non-atopic Children after<i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i>pneumonia

Abstract

The present study demonstrated significant differences in eosinophil counts, serum IL-5, and serum ECP levels between atopic and non-atopic children with MP at admission, recovery, and 2 months after clinical recovery. These outcomes are suggestive of eosinophil-related hyperreactivity in atopic children, with this status maintained for at least 2 months after MP.
