Combined elevated sputum eosinophils+neutrophils in asthma associated with lowest lung function, greater healthcare utilization, and longitudinally, further spirometric loss, implicating cell-cell interactions or overlapping inflammatory pathways while increased eosinophils or neutrophils alone show less effect.
哮喘患者痰液中嗜酸性粒细胞和中性粒细胞同时升高与最低肺功能、更高的医疗保健利用率相关,并且从纵向来看,进一步导致了肺功能的丧失,提示细胞-细胞相互作用或重叠的炎症途径,而单独增加嗜酸性粒细胞或中性粒细胞的效果则较小。
