Abstract
Measurementofeosinophilicairwayinflammationcanassistinthediagnosisofallergicasthmaandinthemanagementof
exacerbations, however its clinical implementation remains difficult. Galectin-10 has been associated with eosinophilic
inflammation and has the potential to be used as a surrogate biomarker. This study aimed to assess the relationship
betweengalectin-10insputumwithsputumeosinophilcounts,thecurrentgoldstandardofeosinophilinflammationinthe
lung. Thirty-eight sputum samples were processed for both eosinophil counts by cytospins and semi-quantitative
measurementsofgalectin-10bywesternblots.Astrongassociationwasobservedbetweengalectin-10levelsinsputum
and sputum eosinophil measurements, and they accurately determined sputum eosinophilia. The results support the
potentialforgalectin-10tobeusedasasurrogatebiomarkerofeosinophilicairwayinflammation.
