Abstract
A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR ASTHMA: Chronic airway inflammation, main feature of asthma, can be assessed by measuring the exhaled nitric oxide (NO) level. Measurement of NO is standardized, non-invasive and easy to use in both children and adults. Studies have shown that it is a good diagnostic test for asthma when NO is high. However, other conditions or pathologies must be searched for because they may influence the results. ITS PLACE IN TREATMENT: Although exhaled NO helps to characterise the patients with asthma, other studies are required to show that it can help to improve the follow-up of such patients. Nevertheless, this tool has not yet been validated in the daily treatment of asthma and further research is still ongoing.
