Background: Although much is known about the fact that IgE-mediated allergic inflammatory response contributes to airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and asthma severity, little is known about the degree of IgE response in allergic asthmatics during treatment.
Objective: To determine the amount of total serum IgE among allergic asthmatic patients with various asthma controls.
Material And Method: A total of 190 non-smoking patients with allergic asthma were divided into three groups by using the asthma control definition according to the GINA 2006 criteria.
