Óxido nítrico exhalado en niños: un indicador no invasivo de la inflamación de las vías aéreas

Results obtained with chemiluminescence and portable electrochemical analyzers are compared. The portable devices offer the possibility-in children over 5 years of age- of accurate and universal monitoring of exhaled nitric oxide concentrations, an emerging marker of eosinophilic inflammation in asthma that facilitates diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression, and assessment of response to therapy.
