Rabbit allergens: a significant risk for allergic sensitization in subjects without occupational exposure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory condition characterized by oxidative stress and the formation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) secreted via the lungs. We recently developed a methodological approach able to identify profiles of VOCs in breath unique for patient groups. Her...
