Bronchodilator responsiveness and atopy in 5-10-yr-old coughers.
Cough-variant asthma is considered by some to be an asthma phenotype. Bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is an undisputed feature of asthma. Of school-aged wheezers, 90% are atopic. Are school-aged coughers who demonstrate BDR also atopic? If so, then it would be reasonable to reserve the diagnosis cough-variant asthma for this particular group. Airway resistance was measured by the interrupte...
متن کاملAtopy, airway responsiveness, and genes.
Asthma is a manifestation of bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) and forms part of the spectrum of atopic disease. Some pedigree studies of atopy have suggested linkage with the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcE RI1) gene on chromosome 11q13, but others find no linkage. The molecular genetics of asthma and BHR have not been studied in the general population. We examined the genetic linkage of the Fce...
متن کاملBronchodilator responsiveness: interpret with caution.
Bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is widely considered to be a key diagnostic criterion for asthma, and is used to differentiate asthma from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Currently, the threshold of a 12% increase in FEV1 from baseline following inhaled salbutamol, with at least a 200 ml increase in absolute terms, is recommended as a response indicative of asthma, although re...
متن کاملBronchodilator responsiveness in patients with COPD.
The degree of acute improvement in spirometric indices after bronchodilator inhalation varies among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, and depends upon the type and dose of bronchodilator and the timing of administration. Acute bronchodilator responsiveness at baseline was examined in a large cohort of patients with moderate-to-very-severe COPD participating in the Understan...
