Steroid affected cytokines in aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease

Conclusions: In the epithelial samples, type 2 associated cytokines IL-5 and IL-33, the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and IFN- γ were lower in AERD patients treated with prednisone. This work serves as a basis to assess therapeutic-induced mucosal cytokine responses in AERD and indicates that the site of cytokine measurement is an important consideration when assessing results.This article is protected by copyright.
