Keywords:
Bronchial asthma; bronchial epithelium; histology; serum IgE; airway remodeling; goblet cell hyperplasia; basement membrane thickeningAbstract
A prospective cross-sectional study assessed histological alterations in bronchial epithelium andtheir correlation with serum total IgE in 120 adult patients with bronchial asthma compared to 60healthy controls. Bronchial biopsies obtained via bronchoscopy were evaluated for epithelialshedding, goblet cell hyperplasia
