Our findings are in agreement with other studies reporting equal mRNA levels of CCR3 and CCR5 in PBMCs [22] and same levels of CXCR3+ peripheral blood Th cells [21] in patients with atopic dermatitis and healthy controls, but in disagreement with other findings showing decreased percentage of CCR5+ and CXCR3+ memory Th cells in the blood from patients with atopic dermatitis compared to healthy controls [23]. Here, CCR5 is linked to atopic eczema.
