Exhaled nitric oxide rather than lung function distinguishes preschool children with probable asthma.
BACKGROUND Respiratory function and airway inflammation can be evaluated in preschool children with special techniques, but their relative power in identifying young children with asthma has not been studied. This study was undertaken to compare the value of exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)), baseline lung function, and bronchodilator responsiveness in identifying children with newly detected proba...

متن کاملEXHALED MARKERS Exhaled nitric oxide predicts asthma relapse in children with clinical asthma remission
Background: Nitric oxide in exhaled air (FENO) is a marker of eosinophilic airway inflammation. A study was undertaken to determine whether FENO predicts asthma relapse in asymptomatic asthmatic children in whom inhaled corticosteroids are discontinued. Methods: Forty children (21 boys) of mean age 12.2 years on a median dose of 400 mg budesonide or equivalent (range 100–400) were included. FEN...
متن کاملNO kidding: exhaled nitric oxide fraction in preschool children.
Wheeze is one of the most prevalent symptoms in preschool children with huge impacts on children and their families, on healthcare utilisation and hence costs [1]. While most children will become asymptomatic by 5–6 years of age, some will develop asthma or, even more importantly, severe problematic asthma and/or will experience an accelerated decline in lung function. Several studies have show...
متن کاملPrediction of asthma in symptomatic preschool children using exhaled nitric oxide, Rint and specific IgE.
RATIONALE For clinicians it remains very difficult to predict whether preschool children with symptoms suggestive of asthma will develop asthma in later childhood. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether measurement of fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)), interrupter resistance (Rint) or specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) in 4-year-old children with suggestive symptoms can predict asthma symptoms...
