Exhaled breath temperature in asthma.
We read with interest the manuscript of PIACENTINI et al. [1]. This paper shows that exhaled breath temperature plateau and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) are correlated in children with asthma. This finding is interesting considering that NO is a marker of inflammation and that exhaled breath temperature may also be used to assess inflammation in the airways in a noninvasive way. We previously show...
متن کاملUsefulness of the Exhaled Breath Temperature Plateau in Asthma Patients.
BACKGROUND Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has recently been proposed as a noninvasive marker of bronchial inflammation in patients with asthma. However, the usefulness of EBT in everyday clinical practice is not well established. Results to date are contradictory and are mainly derived from small, pediatric populations. A comparison of results is further complicated by the use of different eq...

levels in eight nonasthmatic patients with allergic rhinitis. At the time of the measurement all patients were exposed to natural allergens and had symptoms of rhinitis. Adenosine concentrations were significantly higher in samples from these patients than in samples from healthy subjects. This result confirms that active allergic inflammation, either of the upper or lower airways, may result i...
متن کاملExhaled breath temperature, a new biomarker in asthma control: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the exhaled breath temperature (EBT), measured by a noninvasive method, is an effective means of monitoring patients with uncontrolled asthma. METHODS A pilot study comprising nine patients (seven women and two men; mean age: 39 years) diagnosed with asthma at least one year prior to the beginning of the study and not having been under maintenance therapy for the...
متن کاملCorrelation of exhaled breath temperature with bronchial blood flow in asthma
In asthma elevated rates of exhaled breath temperature changes (Deltae degrees T) and bronchial blood flow (Qaw) may be due to increased vascularity of the airway mucosa as a result of inflammation.We investigated the relationship of Deltae degrees T with Qaw and airway inflammation as assessed by exhaled nitric oxide (NO). We also studied the anti-inflammatory and vasoactive effects of inhaled...
