Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | INFORMA HEALTHCARE | Source: | BIOMARKERS, 19 (6), p. 481-487 | Abstract: | Rhinitis and asthma are the most common respiratory diseases in children. We assessed whether airway inflammation markers were associated with nasal allergies and self-reported symptoms of wheeze and rhinitis in 130 children 6-12 year old in an epidemiological context. Independent of sex and age, the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and nasal mast cell (MC) activation (tryptase >= 5 ng/mL) were positively associated with wheeze, rhinitis and with nasal allergy. Nasal eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) markers (pH, 8-isoprostane, interleukin-1 beta) were not associated with symptoms or with nasal allergy. In conclusion, FeNO and nasal tryptase reflect allergic inflammation in the respiratory system. | Notes: | [De Prins, Sofie; Schoeters, Greet] Vlaamse Instelling Technol Onderzoek, Environm Risk & Hlth Unit, Boeretang, Belgium.
