title: [Level of GM-CSF and IL-4 in serum of children with bronchial asthma].
abstract: Serum IgE, GM-CSF and IL-4 concentrations were measured in 35 children (3 to 18 years of age) with bronchial asthma in I and II clinical stage. Control group consisted of 10 healthy children (6 to 9 years of age) without any symptoms of inflammatory process. All measurements were performed by ELISA tests. The concentration of serum IL-4 was statistically significantly higher in children with bronchial asthma (0.06 ng/ml) than in the control group (0.01 ng/ml). Serum concentration of GM-CSF was lower in children with bronchial asthma than in control group (4.4 and 8.44 pg/ml respectively).
