Brief Summary

This study is to investigate breath analysis (breath metabolomics) combined with established bioinformatic tools as a platform for companion diagnostics.

Detailed Description

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is defined as measuring concentrations of a drug at one or more time points in a biological matrix after a dose. The purpose of TDM is to individualize the drug dose ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age 0 ≤ 22 years at study entry and signed informed consent
  • Additional inclusion criteria for respiratory disease population:
  • Acute disease: - Acute signs for a respiratory disease, indicated by e.g. increased work of breathing (e.g. dyspnea, increased respiratory rate), cough or wheezing.
  • Chronic disease: - Suspected or confirmed chronic airway disease (e.g. asthma).
  • Additional inclusion criteria for neurological disease population:
  • Acute disease: - Acute presentation or report within 24 hours of any signs of neurological deficit (motor function, sensoneural, or verbal).
  • Chronic disease: - Confirmed chronic neurologic disease (e.g. childhood epilepsy).
  • Additional inclusion criteria for T1D disease population:
  • Acute disease: - Hyperglycemia and/or pH (venous) \<7.3, bicarbonate \>10 mmol/L, increased levels of acetone in blood or urine in the context of newly diagnosed or known T1D.
  • Chronic disease: - Confirmed diagnosis of T1D

Exclusion

  • Physical or intellectual impairment precluding protocol adherence.
  • Additional exclusion criteria for respiratory disease population:
  • Known malignancy, active smoker (passive smoke exposure is not an exclusion criterium), known inflammatory diseases (e.g. autoimmune disease) that require medical and/or pharmacological treatment and is associated with an inflammatory response, relevant congenital defects
  • Additional exclusion criteria for neurological disease population:
  • Known malignancy, active smoker (passive smoke exposure is not an exclusion criterium), known inflammatory diseases (e.g. autoimmune disease) that require medical and/or pharmacological treatment and is associated with an inflammatory response, relevant congenital defects.
  • Additional exclusion criteria for T1D population:
  • Known malignancy, active smoker (passive smoke exposure is not an exclusion criterium), relevant congenital defects.
