Abstract
This study is done to detect the relation between morphological changes in eosinophis and bronchial asthma in childr This study included 70 children divided as follow :
• 40 asthmatic patient during acute asthma exacerbation .
• 15 symptom free asthmatic patients .
• 15 healthy children as a control group with no present ,past or family history of any allergic diseases.
The following steps are done :
• Full history is taken from all children .
• Full general examination .
• 1 cm peripheral blood is collected and prepared to be used under microscopy for detection of the degree of morphological changes in eosinophils .
• comparison between the results of the three groups . Statistical
Our results were as follow :
• Morphological changes in eosinophils were more in patients during acute asthma exacerbation than in syptom free asthmatic patients and normal children .
• Morphological changes in eosinophils were more in symptom free asthmatic patients than normal children .
• Morphological changes in eosinophils increases with increase severity of the acute exacerbation .
This study recommended using of morphological changes in eosinophils as a simple and non invasive test for follow up of asthmatic patients and in proper management of the acute asthma exacerbation.
