The purpose of this study is to verify and validate the intrinsic diagnostic value in terms of sensitivity and specificity of proteomic profiles determined during a pre-study for discriminating between allergy related asthma and allergy related rhinitis.

Proteomic profiles are established for each patient using plasma and serum samples
A positive metacholine test indicating bronchial hyperresponsiveness is currently our Gold Standard for diagnosing asthma.

Proteomic profile of each patient
The attribution of a proteomic profile as either "asthmatic" or "rhinitis". Proteomic profiles are determined accordig to the SELDI-TOF method. This is a transversal study validating proteomic profiles as a new diagnostic test.
