A Multidimensional Approach to the Management of Severe Asthma: Inflammometry, Molecular Microbiology and Bronchial Thermoplasty by Conor Cox, Melanie Kjarsgaard, Michael G Surette, P Gerard Cox, Parameswaran Nair

“…The authors illustrate the merits of identifying the components of diseases (eg, bronchitis and airway hyper-responsiveness) that contribute to exacerbations in the management of a patient with severe asthma. Quantitative cell counts in sputum identified a neutrophilic – as opposed to eosinophilic – bronchitis that enabled a stepwise weaning of prednisone. …”
