[The values of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough].
To evaluate the values of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough. ⋯ FENO could be used as a inflammation marker of chronic cough because of its good correlation with sputum eosinophils, AHR, atopy, and cough symptoms. FENO also has a potential to predict the response of anti-inflammatory therapy because FENO decrease is correlated with the decrease of eosinophilic inflammation and improvement of cough symptoms.
