While the result of some immunological parameters that involves pro-inflammatory interleukins Th17 (IL- 17and IL-23) showed a significant difference of patients that were (126.52 ±11.92) and (108.49 ±12.04) compared with control (74.24 ±2.06) and (65.87 ±1.36) respectively. The same levels of the results to anti-inflammatory interleukins Th2 (IL-4 and IL-5) represented of patients were (147.72 ±27.89) and (129.68 ±11.20) compared with control group (74.91 ±2.53) and (84.94 ±5.10) respectively.
