Abstract

The article comments on the study conducted by Konstantinos Kostikas and colleagues which evaluated the utility of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) measured by a portable device as a screening tool for asthma in young adults during pollen season. It recommended a cut-off value of less than 19-parts-per-billion FENO for the diagnosis of asthma.
