Association of blood total immunoglobulin E and eosinophils with radiological features of bronchiectasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study aimed to investigate whether serum total IgE and blood eosinophils were associated with radiological features of bronchiectasis in a Chinese cohort.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled bronchiectasis patients who visited Peking University Third Hospital from Jan 1^st, 2012 to Oct 7^th, 2021. The clinical, laboratory and chest CT characteristics were analyzed in association with serum total IgE level and blood eosinophil count.

Results

A total of 125 bronchiectasis patients were enrolled, with 50.4% (63/125) female, and a mean age of 62.4 ± 14.1 years. The median serum total IgE level and blood eosinophil count were 47.7 (19.8, 123.0) KU/L and 140 (90, 230) cells/µl, respectively. In patients with a higher than normal (normal ra
