Bronchial inflammation and the common cold: a comparison of atopic and nonā€atopic individuals 2006-04-27 .txt text/plain 5955 379 51 The aim of this study was to examine bronchial epithelial tissue in naturally acquired cold virus infections, in order to determine whether there are differences between the lower airway infiammatory response and ICAM-1 expression in atopic and nonatopic subjects. Wilcoxon's signed rank test was used to compare baseline and acute phase results and the Mann-Whitney {/-test to compare changes in T-cell infiltration during colds between atopic and non-atopic subjects, between viral diagnostic groups and between symptom groups. There was a greater increase in bronchial responsiveness in non-atopic subjects and those without diagnosed viral infection but the difference between groups was not significant. (Paired /-test: geometric mean 1.53-fold increase, confidence interval 1.04 2.25-fold, P = 0.02.) The effect of atopy and viral diagnosis on changes in infiammatory cell infiltration of the bronchial mucosa is shown in Table 4 . The table shows the change from baseline in numbers of inflammatory cells in atopic and non-atopic subjects and in those with and without positive viral diagnoses. ./cache/cord-009773-pbm2vs5h.txt ./txt/cord-009773-pbm2vs5h.txt
