Abstract excerpt
In patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), serum levels of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) have been shown to be a good reflector of disease severity. To elucidate what serum levels of ECP actually reflect, ECP levels in serum and plasma and cytological aspects of blood eosinophils were examined in AD patients (n = 27) and compared to healthy subjects (n = 12). Significantly elevated levels of serum ECP were...
