AB  - Preschool  wheeze  affects  at  least  one-third  of  all  children  younger  than  5  years  old,  and  a  disproportionate  number  of  preschool  children  use  healthcare  resources  for  wheezing  episodes  compared  to  school-aged  children  with  asthma.  However,  despite  this  high  prevalence,  it  remains  a  significant  management  challenge.  Establishing  a  diagnosis  is  difficult,  with  almost  complete  reliance  on  accurate  parental  symptom  reporting,  and  there  are  no  objective  tests  to  assess  lung  function  or  airway  inflammation.  These  patients  have  a  relatively  poor  response  to  traditional  asthma  medications,  and  we  cannot  predict  or  prevent  who  will  progress  to  asthma.
