Measurement of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath of children of the ALL Age Asthma Cohort

Conclusions: Sampling of VOCs is feasible even in young children. The number of VOCs that differ between asthmatics and controls as well between wheeze phenotypes suggests that this non-invasive method will be an excellent complementary measure for in-depth characterization and identification of possible wheeze or asthma biomarkers and predictors in ALLIANCE.
