Non-invasive markers of airway inflammation as predictors of oral steroid responsiveness in asthma

BACKGROUND—Sputum eosinophil counts and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels are increased in asthma and both measurements fall in response to corticosteroids.
METHODS—Exhaled NO levels and sputum eosinophil counts were assessed as non-invasive markers of the response to an oral steroid in 37 patients (...
