| 1 | METHODS: We assessed the number of eosinophil and the levels of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and interleukin (IL)-5 in induced sputum and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in 76 patients with totally controlled asthma in comparison with 30 current untreated asthmatics and 20 healthy subjects. | Methacholine Chloride | interleukin 5 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In the total control group, number of eosinophil and the levels of ECP and IL-5 in induced sputum of patients with negative methacholine challenge test were significantly lower than those in subjects with positive methacholine challenge test (p < 0.001), whereas sputum number of eosinophil and the levels of ECP and IL-5 in patients with negative methacholine challenge test and those of healthy subjects were similar (p > 0.05). | Methacholine Chloride | interleukin 5 | Homo sapiens |
