    ..No viral genome was detected in the lungs of the control group. In conclusion, this study provides novel evidence of an aberrant CD8(+) T-cell population, possibly in response to viral infection in subjects who die of acute asthma...

    Chest 122:1966-72. 2002
    ..The aim of the present study was to investigate if a dose-response relationship exists for lung function and inflammatory cell numbers in bronchial biopsy specimens...

    ..61) between treatments. Reduction of inflammatory cell numbers in the bronchial mucosa achieved with FP plus montelukast was not significantly different from the reduction observed with FP alone in individuals with mild asthma...
