Efficacy of mycophenolate on lung disease and autoimmunity in children with immunodeficiency.

abstract：:The analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a promising new method to measure airway inflammation. So far only limited data exist about methodological issues of EBC sampling in infants and young children. We evaluated 18 children with acute wheezy bronchitis (median age 24.3 months (min-max: 4-89.9)), 54 childr...
