IL‐5 in post‐traumatic eosinophilic pleural effusion

SUMMARY Thoracic trauma or pneumothorax can result in pleural fluid eosinophilia. In this study we investigated the role of the eosinophilopoietic cytokine IL‐5 in three cases of post‐traumatic eosinophilic pleural effusions (EPE). Using a specific immunoenzymatic assay, significant levels of IL‐5 w...

Summary:SUMMARY Thoracic trauma or pneumothorax can result in pleural fluid eosinophilia. In this study we investigated the role of the eosinophilopoietic cytokine IL‐5 in three cases of post‐traumatic eosinophilic pleural effusions (EPE). Using a specific immunoenzymatic assay, significant levels of IL‐5 were found in EPE (range 100–3000 pg/ml), while IL‐5 was undetectable (
