  2. The use of oral corticosteroids within the last 3 months.
  3. Recent respiratory tract infection (2 months).
  4. Significant concomitant respiratory disease such as COPD, CF, ABPA, bronchiectasis and active pulmonary tuberculosis.
  5. Any other clinically significant medical condition such as unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction in the preceding 3 months, recent TIA/ CVA,that may endanger the health or safety of the participant, or jeopardise the protocol.
