✦ Synopsis

In this review, we outline the role of nitric oxide in airway inflammation in children with asthma. We also discuss the various methods reported for measuring exhaled nitric oxide and provide some insight as to the pros and cons and pitfalls of these techniques. Guidelines for measurements of exhaled nitric oxide based on our experience are provided, as well as suggestions for the use of this technique as a new "airway inflammation test.

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

Exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) is a surrogate marker of airway inflammation in asthma. In 12 children aged 6-11 years with mild to moderate persistent asthma, ENO concentrations were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment with montelukast sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, and 2 weeks af

The hypotheses tested in this study were that during acute asthma exacerbations (1) exhaled nitric oxide concentrations [eNO] are a more sensitive, noninvasive indicator of asthma disease activity than serum markers of inflammation such as eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) or soluble interleukin 2 r

The aim of this study was to investigate whether regular treatment with inhaled salmeterol modifies the dose-response curve to the inhaled short-acting beta2-agonist terbutaline or affects the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled air of children with asthma. Twenty-two children aged 7 to 15
