[Exercise-induced bronchospasm. Diagnosis and management].
Exercise-induced bronchospam is a common entity in asthmatic children. Physiopathology involves airway cooling, airway dehydration and influx of inflammatory cells such as histamine or eicosanoids. Diagnosis is done by a suggestive clinical history, besides a VEF1 reversibility of 15% after the use of a beta agonist. Differential diagnosis should be done with similar presentation pathologies. Warming up routines and beta agonist should be used in regular bases as previous treatment in this kind of disease.
