Abstract
International guidelines for the treatment of asthma recommend adjusting the dose of inhaled corticosteroids on the basis of symptoms, bronchodilator requirements, and the results of pulmonary-function tests. Measurements of the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) constitute a noninvasive marker that may be a useful alternative for the adjustment of inhaled-corticosteroid treatment.Keywords
