Is home spirometry useful in diagnosing asthma in children with nonspecific respiratory symptoms?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) is a recently described children's interstitial lung disease (chILD) disorder of unknown etiology. It manifests clinically with tachypnea, retractions, hypoxemia, and crackles. The characteristic radiographic appearance consists of pulmonary hyperexpansion an...
