Abstract

Atopic cough (AC) is an established clinical entity in Japan, in which patients present with a chronic persistent non-productive cough. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a biomarker of eosinophilic airway inflammation. The present study examined whether exhaled NO levels were increased in AC in comparison with cough variant asthma (CVA) and bronchial asthma (BA). Consecutive patients presenting with an isolated cough lasting at least 8 weeks were enrolled in the study. The aetiology of the chronic cough was determined according to the Japanese Respiratory Society guidelines for management of cough. Exhaled NO, capsaicin cough sensitivity (capsaicin concentration eliciting five or more coughs (C5)) and bronchial reversibility were measured at the patients' first visit. Bronchial responsiveness (PC20 to methacholine) was measured at their second visit following a 6-day course of bronchodilator therapy. There were 58 patients recruited and fully investigated; of these 9 and 11 patients were diagnosed with AC and CVA, respectively, as single causes of chronic cough. Ten patients with BA who had not received corticosteroid therapy in the previous 4 weeks and who attended the same clinic in the same time period acted as controls. Exhaled ...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
