A 39-year-old man came to the clinic with cough and shortness of breath that was not relieved by his inhaler. He had these symptoms for 5 days during the past 2 weeks. He doubled his oral corticosteroids in the past week. He is a chef with a history of asthma for 3 years, suffering from frequent cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath and chest tightness. The symptoms become more bothersome within 1-2 hours of starting work every day and worsen throughout the work week. His symptoms improve within 1-2 hours outside the workplace. Spirometry was performed revealing a forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 63% of the predicted. His past medical history is significant for seasonal allergic rhinitis in the summer. He doesn't smoke or use illicit drugs. His family history is significant for asthma in his father and sister. He currently uses inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and fluticasone 500 mcg/salmeterol 50 mcg, one puff twice daily.

eligible ages (years): 18.0-80.0, Asthma Allergy Reactive Airway Disease Lung Diseases, Obstructive Asthma The diagnosis of asthma will be based on a consistent history, physical exam, and previous physician diagnosis of asthma. Consistent historical features of asthma episodic wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or cough, often precipitated by known environmental triggers (e.g. respiratory viral infection, exposure to pollen, exercise, or stress). Consistent physical findings of asthma audible expiratory wheezing and findings of associated diseases (e.g. eczema, allergic rhinitis), although the physical exam may be normal in between asthma attacks. Subjects will need to be free of asthma symptoms at time of challenge testing. Most asthmatic subjects should demonstrate bronchial reactivity during the mannitol challenge test. Non-asthmatic controls Healthy control subjects will be recruited in order to define baseline values for serum and urine mannitol. Healthy control subjects will be defined by the lack of symptoms or physical findings of asthma or other allergic diseases (e.g. eczema, allergic rhinitis), and absence of any other chronic lung disease. Healthy subjects should also not demonstrate bronchial reactivity during a mannitol challenge test >5 pack year history of tobacco use or active smoking. 2.

A 39-year-old man came to the clinic with cough and shortness of breath that was not relieved by his inhaler. He had these symptoms for 5 days during the past 2 weeks. He doubled his oral corticosteroids in the past week. He is a chef with a history of asthma for 3 years, suffering from frequent cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath and chest tightness. The symptoms become more bothersome within 1-2 hours of starting work every day and worsen throughout the work week. His symptoms improve within 1-2 hours outside the workplace. Spirometry was performed revealing a forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 63% of the predicted. His past medical history is significant for seasonal allergic rhinitis in the summer. He doesn't smoke or use illicit drugs. His family history is significant for asthma in his father and sister. He currently uses inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and fluticasone 500 mcg/salmeterol 50 mcg, one puff twice daily.

A 39-year-old man came to the clinic with cough and shortness of breath that was not relieved by his inhaler. He had these symptoms for 5 days during the past 2 weeks. He doubled his oral corticosteroids in the past week. He is a chef with a history of asthma for 3 years, suffering from frequent cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath and chest tightness. The symptoms become more bothersome within 1-2 hours of starting work every day and worsen throughout the work week. His symptoms improve within 1-2 hours outside the workplace. Spirometry was performed revealing a forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 63% of the predicted. His past medical history is significant for seasonal allergic rhinitis in the summer. He doesn't smoke or use illicit drugs. His family history is significant for asthma in his father and sister. He currently uses inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and fluticasone 500 mcg/salmeterol 50 mcg, one puff twice daily.
