Abstract

We read with interest the data from Jackson et al that revealed lower angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression in nasal brushings from children with allergic sensitization, along with a progressive decline in ACE2 expression in relation to increasing IgE sensitization in those with asthma. Moreover, in nasal brushings from adults with allergic rhinitis, ACE2 expression was lower after exposure to cat allergen.
