Abstract
Bronchial Asthma is defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough that vary over time and in intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation. Airflow limitation may later become persistent over the course of disease. To compare the findings of eosinophil counts in peripheral blood, induced sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in asthmatic patients and healthy individuals. This Case Control Cross sectional study was conducted among patients attending respiratory OPD at Sir Sunder Lal Hospital, BHU, Varanasi, with diagnosis of bronchial asthma (100) and healthy controls. Significant association was found between eosinophilic bronchial asthma and absolute eosinophil count (W = 1168.000, p = 0.020), total serum IgE (W = 1338.000, p = <0.001), BAL eosinophil count (χ2 = 94.589, p = <0.001), sputum eosinophil count (χ2 = 14.057, p = <0.001).
支气管哮喘的定义是呼吸道症状史,如喘息、呼吸短促、胸闷和咳嗽,这些症状随时间和强度的变化而变化,同时伴有不同程度的呼气气流限制。气流受限后来可能在病程中持续存在。比较哮喘患者与健康人外周血、诱导痰及支气管肺泡灌洗液中嗜酸性粒细胞计数的变化。本病例对照横断面研究在瓦拉纳西BHU Sir Sunder Lal医院呼吸内科就诊的诊断为支气管哮喘的患者(100例)和健康对照中进行。嗜酸性粒细胞支气管哮喘与嗜酸性粒细胞绝对计数(W = 1168.000, p = 0.020)、血清总IgE (W = 1338.000, p = <0.001)、BAL嗜酸性粒细胞计数(χ2 = 94.589, p = <0.001)、痰嗜酸性粒细胞计数(χ2 = 14.057, p = <0.001)有显著相关性。
