Abstract
To reveal clinical and immunological features of bronchial asthma (BA) combined with thyroid gland pathology, sixty patients have been examined in five equal groups, i.e., BA; hypothyroidism; thyrotoxicosis; BA + hypothyroidism; BA + thyrotoxicosis. We assessed serum IgE, IgG levels, as wekk as IL-4/IFNγ, IL-4/IL-1, and IL-1/IL-6 ratios. Clinical exacerbations were observed more frequently in BA + hypothyroidism, as compared with BA patients. Remissions of BA were more prolonged in BA patients, than in groups with BA + hypothyroidism, or BA + hyperthyroidism. Serum IgE levels were much increased in the group with BA + hyperthyroidism. The lowest IL-4/IFNγ ratio was revealed in BA + hypothyroidism group versus BA and BA + hyperthyroidism groups. IL-4/IL-1 ratio was higher in BA + hyperthyroidism group, than in BA and BA + hypothyroidism. Co-existence of hyperthyroidism with BA seems to enhance Th2 immune reactions
dominating in BA, whereas concomitant hypothyroidism may cause a reduction of Th2 immune response.
