Article Synopsis
- Serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels were measured in 95 children with asthma to assess its role in monitoring inflammation and managing inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy.
- Significant differences in ECP levels were found between symptomatic and stable patients, indicating a higher presence of eosinophilic inflammation in those experiencing symptoms.
- While ECP levels correlated with clinical evaluation, they did not effectively predict the necessity of continuing ICS therapy after withdrawal.
