[The correlations between chemical mediators and interleukins in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in 6 asthmatic children].
The authors studied the inflammation's factors of the lung in six asthmatic children in BAL liquid. Were monitored either the cells either the inflammation's mediators as PCF--albumin--PGE2--PG1 alpha--Tx beta 2--PAF--LT beta 4 and the interleukines IL1 alpha--IL-1 beta--IL-6--IL-8. In the BAL liquid was observed the macrophagic non epiteliomorphic and lymphocytic preminence. The mediators of inflammation were all increased in particular IL-1 beta--IL-6--IL-8. The cultural exams were negatives in 80% of children.
