    Abstract

    Aims: Alveolar nitric oxide (CA(NO) ) is a potential biomarker of small airway inflammation. We investigated effects on CA(NO) of the addition of coarse and fine particle inhaled corticosteroids to standard therapy in severe asthma. Methods: Severe asthmatics taking =1600µg/day budesonide or equivalent performed a randomised open-label crossover study. Subjects with FEV(1)
