Abstract

Potential bacterial pathogens are found in the airways in several diseases that are associated with neutrophilic inflammation. The aim of this study was to characterize subjects with stable asthma, with no symptoms of respiratory infection, to assess whether key potentially pathogenic bacteria were present in significant quantities in the airways and to correlate this with the pattern of airway inflammation and oxidative stress. Subjects with stable asthma (n = 115) and healthy controls (n = 8) underwent clinical assessment, including hypertonic saline challenge combined with sputum induction. A significant load of potentially pathogenic bacteria (> 10(6) cfu/mL) was cultured from the sputum of 17 (15%) subjects with stable asthma and was associated with higher total cell counts, proportion and number of neutrophils, sputum IL-8 and 8-isoprostane concentrations. The role of bacteria in potentiating neutrophilic asthma warrants further investigation. Therapies such as antibiotic and antioxidant treatment may be most effective in this sub-group of patients.

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.
