title: [Hyperserotoninemia as a cause of symptomatic bronchial asthma].
abstract: Asthma-like symptoms, infrequently, may be secondary to other diseases like: gastro-esophageal reflux, allergic bronchial-pulmonary aspergillosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, sarcoidosis or carcinoid syndrome. The diagnosis is often made after months of unsuccessful treatment. The authors discuss clinical picture and diagnostic problems in case of symptomatic bronchial asthma in course of hyperserotoninemia.
