Effect of a bronchial provocation test with house-dust mite on blood eosinophilia, eosinophil cationic protein, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, and interleukin-6 in asthmatic children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Physicians typically rely heavily on self-reported symptoms to make a diagnosis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). However, in elite sport, respiratory symptoms have poor diagnostic value. In 2009, following a change in international sports regulations, all elite athletes suspected of asthma and/...
