Changes in serum eotaxin and eosinophil cationic protein levels, and eosinophil count during treatment of childhood asthma.

Abstract

Our data suggest that the serum eotaxin level, not peripheral blood EC or serum ECP level, declines during inhaled fluticasone plus salmeterol treatment and might serve as a surrogate marker of T helper 2 residual activity in pediatric asthma.
