Bronchial responsiveness and leucocyte reactivity after influenza vaccine in asthmatic patients. 1984

J C de Jongste, and H J Degenhart, and H J Neijens, and E J Duiverman, and H C Raatgeep, and K F Kerrebijn

The hypothesis was studied that an increased bronchial responsiveness (BR) after viral infections in asthmatics may be related to a change in cellular functions. Histamine threshold and histamine release from leucocytes were measured in asthmatic children and healthy controls before and after administration of a live attenuated or an inactivated influenza vaccine. Live influenza vaccine did increase bronchial responsiveness (BR) to histamine in asthmatic children but not in healthy controls. The inactivated vaccine did not give rise to an increased BR. The releasability of histamine from leucocytes was not increased as a result of the immunisation.

D007251 Influenza, Human An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia. Grippe,Human Flu,Human Influenza,Influenza in Humans,Influenza,Flu, Human,Human Influenzas,Influenza in Human,Influenzas,Influenzas, Human
D007252 Influenza Vaccines Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.

D001980 Bronchi The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003250 Constriction The act of constricting. Clamping,Clampings,Constrictions
D005260 Female Females
D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
