Abstract

Objective: Acute laryngotracheobronchitis (ALTB) is a viral infection disease which appears generally in young children. In this study, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in the sera of patients with ALTB were measured and relationship between these markers and recurrent ALTB attacks were investigated. Study design: Serum ECP and IgE levels were measured before treatment and in the third day and third week after treatment in 27 patients with ALTB whose ages ranged from ten months to five years, and were compared with a control group including 18 healthy children at the same age. All patients were given nebulized budesonide treatment. Results: Pretreatment ECP levels were significantly higher than posttreatment 3rd days and 3rd weeks (28.3 ± 2.3 ng/ml vs 20.2 ± 3.2 ng/ml and 11.4 ± 1.1 ng/ml respectively). Similarly, the mean pretreatment serum IgE values were significantly higher than posttreatment values (131.6 ± 17.5 IU/mI vs 83.6 ± 12.4 IU/mI and 68.2 ± 6.7 IU/mI). A positive correlation was found between serum ECP and IgE values for pretreatmnet and posttreatment 3rd week values (r=062, p=0.01 and r=0.64, p=0.01, respectively). The pretreatment serum ECP and IgE levels were significantly higher than those of controls (10.81.5 ng/ml and 43.8 ± 6.6 IU/mI, respectively p 0.05). Conclusion: In this study it was shown that, serum ECP and IgE levels increase in the acute phase of infection and return to normal after treatment in patients with ALTB such as in allergic patients.

Özet

Amaç: Akut laringotrakeohronşit (ALTB), küçük çocuklarda sık rastlanan viral bir infeksiyon hastalığıdır. Bu çalışmada ALTB'Ii olgularda allerjik hava yolu duyarlılığı ve inflamasyomııula önemli mediatorlerden olan eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) ve imunoglobulin E (IgE) düzeylerine bakılması ve bunların tekrarlayan ALTB atakları ile ilişkisi araştırılmak istenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaşları 10 ay - 5 yaş arasında değişen 27 ALTB'Ii hastanın tedavi öncesi, tedavi sonrası 3.gün ve 3.hafta serum ECP ve IgE düzeylerine bakılmış ve aynı yaş grubunda 18 çocuktan oluşan kontrol grubu Ue karşılaştırılmıştır. Hastalara tedavi için nebulize budesonid verilmiştir. Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi ortalama serum ECP düzeyleriyle (28.3 ± 2.3 ng/ml) tedavi sonrası 3.gün ECP değerleri (20.2 ± 3.2 ng/ml, p<0.05) ve 3.hafta değerleri (11.4 ± 1.1 ng/ml, p<0.00I) arasında anlamlı fark bulundu. Tedavi öncesi ortalama serum IgE düzeyleriyle (131.6 ± 17.5 IU/mI) tedavi sonrası 3.gün IgE düzeyleri (83.6 ± 12.4 İU/ml, p<0.05) ve S.hafta düzeyleri (68.2 ± 6.7 İU/ml, p<0.01) arasındaki fark da anlamlıydı, tedavi öncesi serum ECP düzeyleriyle tedavi öncesi IgE düzeyleri ve tedavi sonrası 3.hafta ECP düzeyleriyle tedavi sonrası 3.hafta IgE düzeyleri arasında belirgin korelasyon saptandı (sırasıyla r=0.62, p=0.01 ve r=0.64, p=0.01). Tedavi öncesi ortalama senim ECP değerleriyle kontrol ECP değerleri (10.8 ± 1.5 ng/ml) ve tedavi öncesi ortalama IgE değerleriyle kontrol IgE değerleri (43.8 ± 6.6 1(İU/mI) arasında belirgin fark gözlendi(herbiri için p<0.00l). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada allerjik hastalıklarda olduğu gibi ALTB'Ii olgularda da serum ECP ve IgE düzeylerinin hastalığın akut döneminde belirgin şekilde yükseldiği ve kortikosteroid tedavisi sonrası düştüğü görülmüştür.
