| Abstract | ||
| Asthma is an anaphylactic hypersensitivity reaction. It was denoted that many factors play a role in its pathogenecity such as cytokines. One of these cytokines is IL-5. The level of IL-5 has been estimated by applying ELISA technique in the sera of 94 Iraqi patients with asthma in comparison with 41 acute nonasthmatic bronchitis cases as a patient controls beside 30 apparent healthy controls. This study showed highly significant elevatation of IL-5 concentration in the sera of asthmatic patients in comparison with control groups (P< 0.001). Furthermore IL-5 test proved to be a perfect test for asthma cases and distinguishing it from healthy controls with a high sensitivity (97.1%) and 100% specificity while it's accuracy was (98.4%). . | ||
