Distribution of the cellular inflammatory pattern in induced sputum in an eosinophilic severe asthma population
Conclusions: We observed low % eosinophilia sputum in patients with severe bronchoscopic eosinophilic asthma. Our patients with severe eosinophilic bronchial asthma showed different inflammatory patterns in sputum that could explain different clinical behaviors and therapeutic responses.NeutrophilicEosinophilicMixedPaucigranulocyticpAge (years)263743250.056FEV1%81.780.268.4850.082Eos esput%0.875.20.3<0.05Neut esp%77247822<0.05Polyposis%0351200.048Sinusitis%0351200.036TH2% serum5.46.39.26.70.188ILC1suero0.310.140.140.190.155
