Control subjects:
Controls will be matched with cases by gender, age and region of residence. They will have non-emergent complaints without respiratory symptoms.
Description
Inclusion Criteria:

Patients are potentially eligible with or without a past history of health care provider diagnosed asthma iv. Patients are potentially eligible regardless of the number of previous episodes of wheezing (i.e. patients with a first episode of bronchospasm are potentially eligible) v. If suspected or documented to have pneumonia or a pulmonary infiltrate, patients are potentially eligible if:
- They have a dry cough (no production of purulent sputum)
- They have bronchospasm as manifested by wheezing or need for salbutamol (albuterol) breathing treatments vi. Patients with wheezing are not eligible if they:
1. Have purulent sputum production 2. Have known or suspected:
a. Tuberculosis b. Immunodeficiency c. Congestive heart failure d. Foreign body aspiration b. Patients presenting with a chief complaint of cough: i. Potentially eligible patients will have a cough of greater than one week (seven days) duration ii. Asthma room disposition is not required for these subjects iii. If suspected or documented to have pneumonia or a pulmonary infiltrate, patients are potentially eligible if:
1. They have a dry cough (no production of purulent sputum) iv. Patients with cough are not eligible if:
- Have purulent sputum production
Have known or suspected:
- Tuberculosis
- Immunodeficiency
- Congestive heart failure
- Foreign body aspiration
- Patients will be medically stable at the time of the consent process (see exclusion criteria below)

Patients who appear to be medically or psychologically unstable or felt to be otherwise inappropriate for study enrollment, in the opinion of the investigator or any treating health care provider. This determination will be made on an individual basis, but some of the general criteria to be used in making this determination will be:

iii. Those with respiratory difficulty to the point they cannot speak in complete sentences iv. Chief complaint of sexual assault v. The patient appears acutely intoxicated vi. The patient displays agitated, nervous, restless, or other behavior suggestive of an uncontrolled psychiatric emergency
