Dipartimento di Medicina Interna, Università degli Studi, Torino.

Published: March 1998

Methods: The peripheral blood lymphocytes and lung function have been studied in 25 patients: 12 affected by atopic asthma and 13 affected by non atopic asthma.

Results: The results obtained indicate that peripheral blood CD3 and CD4 cell as well as HLA-DR marker are higher in the extrinsic asthma group.

Conclusions: These findings confirm that an active inflammatory process exists in the group of non-atopic and functionally more compromised patients.
