MBL deficiency in asthma
dear Lous, Thank you for your question. In all patients in whom all known and described causes of difficult to treat asthma are excluded we think that persistant complaints may be caused by an MBL deficiency, especially in asthmatics patients with recurrent infections. regards, peter

Thank you very much for your interesting poster. Would you recomment to measure MBL in all patients with difficult to treat asthma?
