Leukotriene synthesis may be increased in a variety of inflammatory diseases. Urinary leukotriene E4 is a stable metabolite of leukotrienes C4 and D4 which has previously been found to be increased in exacerbations of severe asthma and after antigen inhalation. Levels of urinary LTE4 in seven patien

## Background: Synthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes (lts) is known to play a part in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. ## Objectives: To define the involvement of cysteinyl lts in atopic dermatitis (ad). ## Methods: Synthesis of cysteinyl lts was assessed in patients with ad and healthy
Fibrin deposition is an important histopathological feature of inflammatory skin lesions and is mediated in part, by procoagulants generated by mononuclear leucocytes (MNL). We examined whether MNL from patients with atopic dermatitis or psoriasis generate enhanced procoagulant activity (PCA). MNL i
