The correlation of serum eosinophil cationic protein level with eosinophil count, and total IgE level in Korean adult allergic rhinitis patients

Conclusions: We suggest that ECP could be an important mediator in the pathogenesis of AR. The level of serum ECP was positively correlated with eosinophilia in AR patients regardless of the type of allergen sensitization. However, further study is warranted to verify the role of ECP in the clinical management of allergic rhinitis.Key words: eosinophil cationic protein, immunoglobulin E, eosinophil count, allergic rhinitis, MAST DOI  10.12932/AP0739
