as established. Asthma was confirmed as a comorbidity in 12 of those patients.

The study also demonstrated that once diagnosed the long-term outcome of VCD is quite good. From the results of a structured telephone interview in 28 of the children and adolescents, the authors reported a complete absence of symptoms in 26 of the 28 contacted patients, at times ranging from one week to five years after the diagnosis.

"The positive outcomes data underscore that VCD appears to be a self-limited disorder once the diagnosis is made," wrote guest editorial author Michael O'Connell, M.D., of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora, Co. "This should energize us to encourage our colleagues in allergy-immunology and primary care to learn the characteristic presentations of this disorder so that the diagnosis can be made without delay."
