Blood tryptase and thymic stromal lymphopoietin levels predict the risk of exacerbation in severe asthma
Abstract Some patients with severe asthma experience exacerbations despite receiving multiple therapy. The risk of exacerbation and heterogeneous response to treatment may be associated with specific inflammatory molecules that are responsive or resistant to corticosteroids. We aimed to identify the...
