Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) was studied in 29 children with bronchial asthma during exacerbation and after it by means of X-Halo device. 27 healthy children were examined as controls. EBT in bronchial asthma patients was significantly higher during exacerbation compared to controls, and dropped to the readings in controls after exacerbation was cured.
