Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Asthma, Exhaled Breath Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using Breath Metabolites to Determine Specific Virus Infection in Asthmatic Patients
Respiratory virus infections cause a majority of asthma exacerbations in the fall to spring months. Current diagnostic platforms for respiratory viruses have limitations including cost, availability, and invasiveness. The use of noninvasive breath collection to analyze breath metabolites may be used to differentiate virus-infected asthmatics from other causes of acute asthma exacerbations.
