[Clinical analysis of the serum levels of IgE in pediatric asthmatic patients].
METHODS
Serum IgE levels and the relationship with some variables in 78 asthmatic children patients, (1 to 5), is reported.
66% had more than one year of the evolution with the illness, 64% presented more than two asthma episodes per month arid 82% had required hospital care for their stability Laboratory results: 52 patients had higher concentration in IgE serum levels than normal limit (ranges: 8 to 12,000, median 687.27 Ul ml). From these patients, 92% had required hospital care; 96% they had more than 2 years of illness evolution and 72.96% they had a higher concentration of eosinophils.


CONCLUSIONS
In this study, the results have allowed us to know characteristics of the patients with high serum IgE levels in our region. Also, the obtained data will allow us to base the design of further research.
