Abstract
BackgroundAsthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of airway that involves many cells and elements. Chronic inflammation caused by increase Airway hyperresponsiveness that cause recurrent episodic symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing, especially at night or early morning. Interleukin 17F is a cytokine that plays an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma attacks. Some studies show a variety of IL-17F roles in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation due to an allergic reaction.ResultsThe study was conducted at the Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital, Indonesia. Samples were taken continuously until the number of meant samples was achieved. Blood samples were collected from 40 atopic asthmatic patients. From statistical analysis based on the hypothesis, there was positive correlation between mRNA levels of IL-17F and IL-17F in atopic asthmatic patient (p = 0.000 and r = 0.988).ConclusionsAccording these data suggest that levels of mRNA IL-17F and IL17F might be useful parameters for the diagnosis of atopic asthma patient.
