METHOD FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF SEVERE BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN

摘要

A method for diagnostics of severe bronchial asthma in school-aged children involves examination of airway bronchus hyperreactivity and expiratory air condensate. Ratio of provocative histamine concentration to general protein content is determined in expiratory air condensate, and if this ratio is less than 0.6, severe bronchial asthma is diagnosed.
