Abstract

Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is elevated in asthmatics, and varies with disease severity. We postulated that a respiratory virus infection increases exhaled NO levels in asthma, and examined the relationship between the virus-induced changes in exhaled NO and in airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine. In a parallel study, seven patients underwent experimental rhinovirus 16 (RV16) inoculation at days 0 and 1, whilst seven patients received placebo. Exhaled NO was measured at baseline (day 0) and at days 1, 2 and 3 after inoculation. Histamine challenges were performed prior to (day -7) and after inoculation (day 3), and were expressed as provocative concentration causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (PC20). Following RV16 infection there was a significant increase in NO at days 2 and 3 as compared to baseline (median change (range): 4.2 (7.5) parts per billion (ppb), p=0.03, and 3.0 (10.1) ppb, p=0.02, respectively). Furthermore, PC20 decreased significantly following RV16 infection (mean+/-SD change in doubling dose: -0.65+/-0.54, p=0.02), whereas PC20 did not change in the placebo group (p=0.1). There was a significant correlation between the RV16-induced changes in exhaled NO levels at day 2 and the accompanying changes in PC20 at day 3 (rank correlation coefficient (rs): 0.86, p=0.01). Hence, the greater the increase in exhaled NO, the smaller the decrease in PC20. We conclude that rhinovirus infection increases exhaled nitric oxide levels in asthmatics, and that this increase is inversely associated with worsening of airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine. These results suggest that viral induction of nitric oxide synthase within the airways may play a protective role in exacerbations of asthma.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
