Abstract | Objective: Determine the main asthma phenotypes in a population of asthmatic children in Cartagena, Colombia. Methods: 107 children (7 to 17 years old) with a previous diagnosis of asthma were recruited. Biomarkers of T2 inflammation were evaluated by measuring FeNO, eosinophil count in peripheral blood by hemocytometry, and determination of specific IgE to mite allergens by ELISA. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Cartagena (SGR, Grant BPIN2020000100405). Results: The average age of patients was 10,9 years. 19,6% of the children did not show elevation of any of the T2 inflammation biomarkers evaluated (FeNO<20ppb, eos<300/ul, negative specific IgE), so they were considered patients with non-allergic asthma (non-T2). 71,9% of all patients were sensitized to at least one allergen, this phenotype was considered allergic asthma. 30,8% of the patients presented the three elevated biomarkers (FeNO>20ppb + eos >300/ul + positive specific IgE), this phenotype was classified as high T2 allergic asthma. A moderate correlation (Spearman rho=0,44, p<0,0001) was found between FeNO values and eosinophil counts. Conclusion: In this study, the following phenotypes were found: allergic asthma, high T2 asthma, and non-allergic asthma. Most patients presented a type 2 inflammatory phenotype with allergic sensitization. In addition to the measurement of specific IgE, the use of FeNO and eosinophil count in peripheral blood help to accurately determine those patients with high T2 asthma phenotypes. |
