Survey of the DYAR-related diagnostic parameters

Values = mean ± SD; 0 = normal (negative, no change); — = not determined; ÷ = borderline value.

Statistical significance: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.

#More than 37°C = 98.6°F axillary.

§Normal value <100 kU/mL.

¶Normal value <0.70 kU/mL.

‖Normal value <15.0 g/L.

##Normal value 4.0–10.0 × 10⁹/L.

§§Normal value <300 × 10⁶/L.

¶¶Normal value 2.0–7.2 × 10⁹/L.

‖‖Normal value 150–400 × 10⁹/L.

***Normal values, (×0⁹/L): B = <0.2, E = <0.5, N =2.0–7.0, M = 0.2–1.0, and L = 1.0–3.0.

###Normal value <20 mm/1 hr.

§§§Number of patients showing pronounced bronchovascular markings on the radiographs.

¶¶¶Determined by means of flow cytometry after stimulation of whole blood with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (mean ± SEM).

‖‖‖After “in vitro” stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (mean ± SEM).

DYAR = delayed asthmatic response; PBS = phosphate-buffered saline; IFN = interferon.
