Serum Periostin Level in Children with Bronchial Asthma

Hematological, Biochemical, and Serum Levels of Allergic Mediators in Individuals with and without Allergic Rhinitis

“…Gabri et al, revealed in their study that serum periostin level in children with bronchial asthma were significantly higher compared to healthy controls. 32 In addition, Kimura et al 33 demonstrated that serum periostin and BMI were negatively correlated in both healthy and asthmatic subjects. Therefore we can say that serum periostin level may have limited utility as a biomarker of allergic disease and as a predictor of allergic asthma.…”
