Conditions
Summary
Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in children. It affects more than 1 in 10 children in France. The methacholine bronchial challenge test (MBT) is indicated to assess the probability of asthma suggested by clinical symptoms by measuring the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), after inhalation of a cumulative dose of methacholine. In children, the measurement of FEV1 requires a high level of cooperation from the child, which can be the source of false negatives or no result if this is not obtained. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the measurement of the respiratory function by the forced oscillations technique, allows to predict the variation of the FEV1 obtained
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6

- Oral consent from the child and at least one of the legal representatives
- Child affiliated or benefiting from a social security plan
Exclusion Criteria6
- Use of a short-acting beta-adrenergic bronchodilator within the last 6 hours or anticholinergic bronchodilator within the last 12 hours

- Upper or lower respiratory tract infections within 3 weeks prior to inclusion
- Epilepsy under treatment

- Patient unable to give consent, vulnerable
Interventions
After each methacholine dose administred, respiratory function will be measured by forced oscillation
