Diagnosing eosinophilic asthma is important, because uncontrolled eosinophilic airway inflammation is associated with reduced response to glucocorticoids and increased risk of severe exacerbations.Currently, the diagnosis of eosinophilic asthma is based

Therefore, it is relevant to search for such diagnostic markers of BA that do not require the active participation of a child.Objective. Our aim was to assess the diagnostic value of serum periostin levels in comparison with surrogate markers of eosinophilic inflammation (total IgE and blood ...
Usefulness of basophil activation test in diagnosis of occupational nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitisfrom 120 before treatment to MFI 22 following omalizumab (data not shown) indicating a decreased IgE load on the basophils. We hypothesize that the favourable clinical response to omalizumab reflects ...
Nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB) is a condition characterized by corticosteroid-responsive chronic cough, sputum eosino-philia and absence of symptoms or objective evidence of variable airflow obstruction and airway hyperresponsiveness (1). Like asthma, NAEB can be associated with exposure to...
