Volatile organic breath components and exercise induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children

Abstract Introduction Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and is generally characterized by exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Assessing EIB is time consuming and expensive as it requires a fully equipped pulmonary function laboratory. Analysis of volatile organic...
