Abstract

Type I hypersensitivity reactions can result in pulmonary inflammation via increasing the bronchospasm and mucous secretions in the airways of lungs; however, the participation of neutrophils in pulmonary inflammation mediated by type I hypersensitivity reactions are incompletely understood. The present study thus aimed to examine the association between neutrophil recruitment and lung inflammation in patients with type I hypersensitivity reactions. For this purpose, blood samples, that were obtained from 128 individuals with type I hypersensitivity reactions and 40 individuals who served as the controls, were analyzed to measure the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), basophils, neutrophils, platelet distribution width (PDW) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW). Moreover, sputum neutrophils were also measured in both the patients and the controls. In addition, consolidation areas were identified by specialist radiologist staff. The results revealed a significant increase in the levels of IgE and basophils corresponding to 91 and 79%, respectively, in patients with type I hypersensitivity reactions. The present study also observed a marked increase in the number of neutrophils in the blood and sputum of patients. Moreover, the results revealed that the levels of PDW and RDW were significantly increased in the patients. In addition, a marked association (y=1.3061x+0.3546) (R²=0.7067) between the infiltrated neutrophils and the consolidation area in the lungs. On the whole, the present study demonstrates a notable association between neutrophil recruitment and lung inflammation in patients with type 1 hypersensitivity reactions; thus, neutrophils may prove useful as a therapeutic target for protection against pulmonary inflammation. Moreover, the presence of neutrophils in sputum may also be used as a biomarker of pulmonary inflammation mediated by type I hypersensitivity reactions.
