Asthma

About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Asthma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Reside in Olmsted County, Minnesota (defined by Olmsted County address in medical record within one year prior to last follow-up date as of data abstraction)
- Receive medical care from Mayo Clinic clinical practice
- Signed research authorization for using medical record for research
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of an immunodeficiency (primary and secondary)
- Previous or current diagnosis of a Rheumatological disorders (Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Sjögren, and vasculitis), cancer (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and B-cell malignancy), diabetes, active infection (pneumonia, otitis media, HIV, and EBV), other chronic diseases (multiple sclerosis, etc), renal disease such nephritic syndrome, and protein losing enteropathy
- Current or previous use (within the last 6 months) of systemic corticosteroids, and other immunosuppressive agents (cyclosporin, methotrexate, and mycophenolic acid)
- Vaccination of PPSV-23 (receiving childhood pneumococcal vaccination during infancy is eligible for this study)
- Pregnancy
Enrollment will be delayed 2 weeks for those subjects that can be included but have upper respiratory infection or viral illness to allow for natural resolution.

Experimental
Active Comparator

Asthmatics
Non-asthmatics
Asthmatics - Serum Stored
19-20 year old asthmatics who agree to participate in study will have serum collected for analysis. PPSV23 vaccine [Pneumonococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine 23-valent (PPSV-23)] will be offered per the ACIP/CDC guidelines. Those who agree to receive the vaccine will have a second draw for serum 4-6 weeks post vaccination for immunization response. They will also be follow up after 1 year to assess for asthma control and outcomes. This arm will additionally allow for comparison of asthma outcomes and vaccine response
19-20 year old non-asthmatic smokers who agree to participate in study will have serum collected for analysis. PPSV23 vaccine [Pneumonococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine 23-valent (PPSV-23)] will be offered per the ACIP/CDC guidelines. Those who agree to receive the vaccine will have a second draw for serum 4-6 weeks post vaccination for immunization response. This arm will allow for comparison of vaccine response between asthmatics and non-asthmatics (smokers)
Once the accrual for the experimental arm is met, 19-20 year old asthmatics who wish to participate in study will have serum collected for analysis. PPSV23 vaccine [Pneumonococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine 23-valent (PPSV-23)] will be offered per the ACIP/CDC guidelines. This arm will allow for study of baseline vaccine titers to pneumococcus in asthmatics at same time increase the vaccine uptake in the community.
