Value of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Diagnosing Mild Asthma Responsive to Inhaled Corticosteroids

Value of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Diagnosing Mild Asthma Responsive to Inhaled Corticosteroids

Background: Mild asthma is often characterized by normal spirometric values and a negative bronchodilation test (BDT), which makes accurate diagnosis challenging. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in mild asthma. Methods: In adults...
