The main aim of the present study was a search for a characteristic serum marker of inflammatory activity in the airways of asthmatics with difficult-to-control disease. Therefore, serum levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), serum low-affinity Fc Epsilon Receptor II (sFcER II), Interferon-gamma (INF-gamma) Immunoglobulin-E (IgE), Interleukin-2 (IL-2), serum Interleukin Receptor 2 (sIL-2R) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (sICAM-1) were measured in 2 groups of asthmatics: 1-26 patients with difficult-to-control asthma (DTCA), 2-22 asthmatics, minimally symptomatic (MSA). Results: No significant difference in either measured parameters between the DTCA and MSA group in peripheral blood samples was found. Conclusion: The above mentioned serum markers of T- and B-cell activation as well as the serum ICAM-1 level are not sensitive enough to determine the type, activity and severity of the inflammatory process in the asthmatic airways.
