Funded Activity Summary

Asthma morbidity and mortality remain high, with drug cost, days lost from school and work. This may be due to severe asthma in which control cannot be attained. This may be due to localised regions of lung that remain persistently responsive to inhaled irritants. We will examine the location and size of these regions using 3-dimensional ventilation scanning. The potential importance of our findings is in providing a basis for improving treatment in resistant, severe asthma.
