Late Breaking Abstract - Systemic IL-26 correlates with improved asthma control in children with allergic sensitization

Key paediatric messages from the 2018 European Respiratory Society International Congress

“…Lastly, presenting a late breaking abstract, K ovach et al .

This would support the view that exposure to pets indeed has a protective effect in the early origins of asthma.…”
