简要总结

  • Background: Infantile asthma is composed of various phenotypes, however the definition is still based on the clinics. Namely, the infants could be classified as transitory, peristent or late and persistent asthma. Some risk factors for the persistent asthma phenotype are recognized as atopy. However all peristent asthma are not related to atopy. Regarding the pathophysiology, little is known on airways inflammation in these infants, and the current data are mostly based on the BAL analyses, or on biopsies. Consequently, BLA and biopsies should be justified by the need of an indicated fiberbronchoscopy, and therefore limited to severe infantile asthma. Airway secretion could be also collected after hypertonic saline induction and chest physiotherapy. This method has been validated in the children, but has not in the younger.
  • Aim : Analyses of cell profiles regarding the severity of infantile asthma.
  • Methods : This descriptive study compared 3 groups of infants, the first with acute exacerbation, the second with uncontrolled asthma and the third with controlled asthma. Accounting 25% of failure, the number of 40 infants per groups has been calculated. The sputum induction will be performed by repeated nebulizations of 3% saline hypertonic solution. Cellularity and cell profiles were analysed as previously recommended. Safety will be evaluated.
  • Inclusion criteria : Any infants suffering of infantile asthma (at least 3 episodes of wheezing during the 2 first years of life), aged between 6-12months.Asthma control was evaluated on the last 4 weeks, allowing to classify the infants . Control asthma was aimed when neither exacerbation nor persistent symptoms were observed. Uncontrolled asthma was defined whether the infant presented any symptoms during the last 4 weeks. Exacerbation was defined as any acute symptoms, as cough, dyspnoea or wheezing.
  • Feasibility : A preliminary study has been presented in the Vienna ERS congress.
