Bronchial Inflammation in Patients With Bronchiolithis Obliterans

NCT01633385 | Completed

Brief Summary

The investigators plan to study the variability of lung function parameters and bronchial inflammatory markers in 20 patients with bronchiolitis obliterans at the age of 6 to 25 years compared with an age- and sex-matched control group. The investigators will perform a pulmonary function test (body plethysmography with TLCO), and measure the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO). Further a blood sample is drawn to determine the systemic inflammation. Finally induced sputum is collected and a cell count is performed, and cells and supernatants are analyzed for inflammatory markers. This investigation will be repeated after 4-6 weeks. The aim of this study is to define baseline values and the variability of possible outcome parameters for future interventional studies.

  V1: Day 1 - V2: Day 28-42

• change of low CrP over time

  V1: Day 1 - V2: Day 28-42
