The aim of this study was to determine whether we could measure exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels in children, and whether the same pattern of exhaled NO concentrations was observed in asthmatic and normal children as had been seen in adults. Using a chemiluminescence NO analyzer, we measured NO in e
The measurement of exhaled nitric oxide concentrations [NO] may provide a simple, noninvasive means for measuring airway inflammation. However, several measurement conditions may influence exhaled NO levels, and ambient NO may be one of these. We measured exhaled NO levels in 47 stable asthmatic chi
