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

Exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) and eosinophil sputum markers are considered noninvasive markers of airway inflammation in asthma. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the procedure of sputum induction can affect the level of ENO. We measured ENO before and after sputum induction by inhalation o
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
