Effect of mannitol dry powder challenge on exhaled nitric oxide in children.

<h4>Background</h4>Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO), a non-invasive marker of eosinophilic airway inflammation, is increasingly used for diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in adult and paediatric asthma. Standardized guidelines for the measurement of FENO recommend performing FEN...
