For many asthmatics, a common trigger of asthma flare-up is upper respiratory infection. If you have had at least two upper respiratory infections in the past two years that have triggered worsening asthma, you may qualify to participate in this research study. Volunteers 6-65 in good general health whose asthma has worsened during an upper respiratory infection that required treatment may qualify.
The research sites are located across the United States.
