IGHE and allergic disease: Interestingly, our data revealed atrend toward a reduction in the IgE levels in those patients who were categorised asintermediate liver injury (CB > 2 mg/dL) and who showed the highest levels of IL-17F,suggesting that during specific HAV-induced clinical courses, increased levels of IL-17Fmay play a protective role against allergic diseases by reducing the IgE levels.
