The concentration of Gal − 10 in the sputum of asthmatics was correlated with the percentage of eosinophils in the sputum (Spearman’s ρ = 0.48, p = 0.002, Fig. 5.A) and with blood eosinophilia (Spearman’s ρ = 0.85, p < 0.001 Fig. 5.B). This evidence concerns the gene GAL and Increased total eosinophil count.
