Zusammenfassung: | Background
Characterising the clinical and immunological impact of daily cat exposure in cat‐allergic subjects with asthma who live with cats (WC) and those who do not (WoC) may provide understanding of the drivers of the allergic response.
Methods
Clinical and immunological characteristics (skin prick test, spirometry, symptom assessments, immunological markers) were compared between asthmatic subjects WC (n = 10) and WoC (n = 9).
Results
WC subjects had greater use of long‐acting beta agonists (p |
