Tiivistelmä

BHR and eosinophilic airway inflammation are more common in patients with AD than in control subjects. The highest prevalences were seen in patients with AD who were SPT positive and had high IgE levels. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the outcome of patients with signs of airway disease, in order to identify those who need early initiation of asthma treatment.
