Respiratory Dysbiosis in Preschool Children with Asthma: Predictive of a Severe Form

Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The prevalence of asthma in preschool children is between 11 and12%. Inhaled corticosteroid therapy is the main therapy used, however this treatment seems insufficiently effective in some children. Recent research in cystic fibrosis has made it possible to highlight pulmotypes corresponding to the different stages of pulmonary dysbiosis, and a predictive microbiological signature of an increased risk of early primocolonization to P. aeruginosa. These pulmotypes are the result of the so-called enterotyping analysis, a biostatistical method that makes it possible to stratify individuals according to the analysis of the microbiota. In the light of these data, it seems interesting to transcribe the concept of using a biomarker of the microbiota in the monitoring of a chronic lung disease such as asthma. The hypothesis is that there is respiratory dysbiosis causing corticosteroid resistance to treatment in children under 3 years of age with severe asthma.

Target number of participants: 30
Treatments
Other: Case
Patients aged to 1 to 3 years with severe asthma (i.e. resistant to inhaled corticosteroid doses less than or equal to 200μg fluticasone equivalent).~Severe asthma patients (cases) are defined by poor asthma control under doses of inhaled corticosteroids ≤200μg fluticasone equivalent.
Other: Control
Patients aged to 1 to 3 years with low or moderate asthma (controlled with mild to moderate doses of inhaled corticosteroids less than or equal to 200μg of fluticasone equivalent).~Mild to moderate asthma patients (controls) are defined by disease control by first-line treatment in asthma, i.e. corticosteroids inhaled at mild to moderate doses of ≤200 micrograms/day of fluticasone equivalent.
