Synopsis: 
Observing β2 agonist response is a simple procedure most likely to differentiate NAEB and CVA from AC. FEF25-75 is seem to be determinative for AHR in CVA, effectiveness of FEF25-75 rather than PEF in NAEB is considered so that NAEB may develop to CVA with time.

ABSTRACT

Background: The number of admissions to immunology and allergy clinics with chronic cough categorized as corticosteroid-responsive eosinophilic disorders are increasing. We aimed in this study to find the prevalence of Non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB), Cough variant asthma (CVA), Atopic cough (AC) and β2 agonist response among NAEB.

Platelet Count and Mean Platelet Volume: Supportive Markers in Differentiation of Tuberculosis and Sarcoidosis

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2016.011
Synopsis: 
Tuberculosis and sarcoidosis are two diseases showing histological and clinical similarities and the differential diagnosis of the two is still very challenging. In this study, platelet (PLT) count and mass platelet volume (MPV) were found to be supportive in the differentiation of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis.
