Summary
It is acknowledged that IL-18, as a product of the inflammasome, is involved in host defence
against viral and bacterial stimuli by modulating the immune response. The aim of this study
was to determine IL-18 levels in serum of patients with Bronchiectasis and to investigate
whether macrolide attenuate its levels.
