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
E-selectin, P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are membrane-bound adhesion molecules which mediate the attachment of leucocytes to endothelial cells. These molecules are preferentially expressed on activated endothelium. The soluble
