Effects of treatment changes on asthma phenotype prevalence and airway neutrophil function

Effects of treatment changes on asthma phenotype prevalence and airway neutrophil function

Abstract Background Asthma inflammatory phenotypes are often defined by relative cell counts of airway eosinophils/neutrophils. However, the importance of neutrophilia remains unclear, as does the effect of ICS treatment on asthma phenotypes and airway neutrophil function. The purpose of this study...
