Prolonged asthma causes decline of peripheral airway function but not bronchial hyperresponsiveness in children

Of 62 asthmatics, children with longer duration of asthma had a higher frequency of having at least one positive allergen skin test (76.0% vs 58.3%, OR 2.26), greater median serum IgE level (500.00±132.61 IU/mL vs 242.70±98.31 IU/mL), and mean peripheral blood eosinophil count (512.90±70.30 vs 432.2...
