A nonsignificant increase in the number of total cells per ml of BAL fluid was observed in both atopic (median: 39 Â 10 4 , range: 20-123 Â 10 4 ) and nonatopic (median: 22 Â 10 4 , range: 17-132 Â 10 4 ) children with chronic cough when compared to controls (median: 11 Â 10 4 , range: 9-30 Â 10 4 ).	./cache/cord-337637-wehstffa.txt	./txt/cord-337637-wehstffa.txt
