Feedback
Empyema is the presence of pus in the pleural space. The usual treatment is drainage of
a chest tube and administration of antibiotics (not antivirals). Blebs are the cause of som
pneumothorax and they can rupture with exercise. Respiratory muscle fatigue may deve

d) IgA
Hide question 2 feedback
Feedback
Included in the long list of asthma-associated genes are those that code for increased le
inflammatory mediators (e.g., interleukin [IL]-4, IgE, leukotrienes), nitric oxide, and
tran the endoplasmic reticulum. IgM, IgG, and IgA are not associated with childhood
asthma.
