诱导痰检测在评估支气管哮喘气道炎症中的应用

Role of induced sputum in assessing the airway inflammation in bronchial asthma

支气管哮喘（简称哮喘）是一种气道慢性炎症性疾病。诱导痰检测可以用于评估哮喘气道炎症的类型及严重程度，有助于表型的分类，指导哮喘的个体化治疗。该项目具有无创、直接反映气道炎症、结果可靠等优点。

Allergic bronchial asthma （asthma） is characterized by chronic airway inflammation. Induced sputum can be used to assess the type and the severity of airway inflammation in asthma. It is helpful to the classification of phenotype and to guide the individualized treatment of asthma. Induced sputum is reliable and noninvasive. It can reflect the airway inflammation directly.
