METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING PERSISTING COURSE OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA WITH EARLY ONSET

摘要

The method for diagnosing the persisting course of the bronchial asthma with the early onset provides for assaying the content of nitrous oxide metabolites in the condensate of the expired air and bronchospasm index by the volume of one-second forced expiration. The persisting course of the bronchial asthma with the early onset is suggested when the content of nitrous oxide metabolites in the condensate of the expired air exceeds 40 µmol/L and bronchospasm index by the volume of one-second forced expiration exceeds 15 %.
