Prolonged Avoidance Environment Factors in Patients with Asthma

Platts-Mills, Thomas A.

Abstract

This protocol proposes the use of an environmentally controlled hospital room to avoid the home factors that contribute to asthma and determine if either reduction of airborne protein antigens, dust particles, or chemicals, or changes in humidity, play a causative role in asthma.
