The Association of Lung Function Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness and Exhaled Nitric Oxide Differs Between Atopic and Non-atopic Asthma in Children

摘要

PurposeAlthough many previous studies have attempted to identify differences between atopic asthma (AA) and non-atopic asthma (NAA), they have mainly focused on the difference of each variable of lung function and airway inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate relationships between lung function, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), and the exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels in children with AA and NAA.
