Background and Aims
Updated medical evidence suggests that a link between eosinophilic inflammation and serum lipids profile in atopic asthmatic children may exist.
To assess the correlation between eosinophil cationic protein (S-ECP) level and lipid profile in atopic asthmatic children with aeroallergens sensitization. 
Method
A prospective study included 68 children aged between 5 to 18 years diagnosed with asthma and aeroallergens sensitization was conducted in “Victor Gomoiu” Clinical Children’s Hospital from May 2016 to September 2017.  In each patient S-ECP (using serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay - ELISA) (normal level <13.3 mcg/l ) and serum lipid profile were measured (according to National Cholesterol Education Program - NCEP): total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc).
Finally the correlation between S-ECP and lipid profile was assessed using Pearson Chi Square test. 
Results
 23 patients had normal S-ECP and according to lipid profile there were increased:   TG (7), TC (12), LDLc (10) and  decreased HDLc (7).
45 patients had elevated S-CEP and according to lipid profile there were increased: TG (5), TC (23), LDLc (22) and decreased HDLc (15).
 Using Pearson Chi Square test to evaluate the correlation between S-CEP value and TG from children included in the study we have obtained a p value statistically significant (<0.05). 
The correlation between S-CEP value and TC, LDLc and HDLc of the studied group we have obtained an insignificant p value.
Conclusion
Increased S-PCE value is correlated with increased TG level, but is not correlated with other increased markers of lipid profile.

IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EOSINOPHIL CATIONIC PROTEIN LEVEL AND LIPID PROFILE IN ALLERGIC ASTHMATIC CHILDREN WITH AEROALLERGENS SENSITIZATION?
