Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify different asthma phenotypes in asthmatic children aged 7 to 17 years in Cartagena, Colombia, using T2 inflammation biomarkers like FeNO and eosinophil counts.
- - Of the 107 children assessed, 19.6% exhibited non-T2 inflammation (non-allergic asthma), while 71.9% were found to have allergic asthma, with 30.8% classified as high T2 allergic asthma due to elevated biomarker levels.
- - Results showed a significant correlation between FeNO and eosinophil levels, highlighting that both specific IgE testing and biomarker measurements are essential for accurately diagnosing high T2 asthma phenotypes in children.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare immune cell populations in the blood of infected (n=35) and uninfected (n=27) individuals from rural Bolívar, using specific diagnostic techniques and flow cytometry for analysis.
- Results showed no significant differences in age or sex between the two groups, with mild infections noted in cases and a slight decrease in neutrophil percentage among infected individuals, though the overall differences in immune cell types were minimal.
- The study was ethically approved, participants consented, and funding was provided through the Colombian Sistema General de Regalías.
