In 2005, we revised our difficult asthma protocol to include assessment of airway inflammation, both directly using sputum induction and indirectly by measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO). In this retrospective review, we aimed to describe (i) the changes in eNO and symptoms after a single 60 mg dose of IM triamcinolone and (ii) the changes in inflammatory markers in the subgroup with non-eosinophilic asthma (i.e., an induced sputum eosinophil differential count |
