If the symptoms of asthma do not interfere with everyday life and the spirometry result is within the normal range, can we conclude that the disease has subsided? There is currently no simple and non-invasive method to confirm this. Therefore, in my doctoral project, I checked whether the tiny vesicles released by the respiratory tract cells, which can be detected in the nasal lavage reveal what is really happening in the child's body – writes Dominika Ambrożej, MD, a PhD student from the Department of Pediatric Respiratory Diseases and Allergology WUM.
