Mast cells and tryptase are linked to itch and disease severity in mycosis fungoides: Results of a pilot study.
Abstract
In mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, itch is a frequent clinical symptom. Whether mast cells (MCs), eosinophils (Eos) or their mediators play a role in MF-associated itch or disease severity is controversially discussed. Here, we explored the role of MC and Eo numbers in the skin as well as blood levels of their mediators in disease severity and itch.
