Increased Levels of Airway Neutrophils Reduces the Inhibitory Effects of Inhaled Glucocorticosteroids on Allergen-Induced Airway Eosinophils

BACKGROUND: Treatment with inhaled glucocorticosteroids attenuates allergen-induced airway inflammation but is less effective in people with asthma who have noneosinophilic airway inflammation.
