Megjegyzések:	At the site of infl ammation infi ltrating CD4+ helper T cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). IL-16 has been previously characterized as an immunomodulatory cytokine. Besides its chemotactic properties, IL-16 is able to trigger IL-2 receptor alpha chain expression and to activate CD4+ T cells, in synergy with IL-2 or IL-15. In addition, IL-16 amplifi es the infl ammatory processes by stimulating cytokine production in monocytes and contributes to T cell activation. Our aim was to investigate the association between serum IL-16 level and sensitisation in patients with AD. Overall 85 patients with AD were studied. Serum level of IL-16 was measured by immunoenzymatic assay in patients with AD and serum IgE, and specifi c IgE levels were also assessed. Based on specifi c IgE levels and Prick-test results, we divided AD patients into subgroups, and examined serum IL-16 and total IgE levels. Thirty-six healthy, aged-matched volunteers and 20 psoriasis patients served as controls.Compared to healthy individuals and patients with psoriasis, we found signifi cantly higher levels of IL-16 in sera of patients with AD. A signifi cant correlation was apparent between serum levels of IL-16 and the serum levels of IgE (r= 0.408; P=0.004). IL-16 levels were signifi cantly elevated in those subgroups, where specifi c IgE were detected against 1-5 or more than 5 antigens. Although the levels of IL-16 were also elevated in the Prick-test positive group, compared to Prick-test negative subjects, the difference was not signifi cant. IL-16 correlates with the degree of sensitization, but the association is not as strong as in the case of serum IgE. We assume that the role of IL-16 is complex in the pathogenesis of AD, both in the initiation and the perpetuation of the disease.
