Prospective Analysis of Markers of Airway Inflammation and Remodeling in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid From Children With Asthma.
The study compares the biochemical markers in bronchoalveolar lavage samples from asthmatic
children to those markers found in non-asthmatic children with other respiratory diseases.
The investigators hypothesize that certain markers will be associated specifically with
asthma.
