Title
Inflammatory mediators in exhaled breath, induced sputum and saliva
Author/Creator
Simpson, Jodie Louise;  Wood, Lisa G.;  Gibson, Peter Gerard
Description
Background and Objective Airway inflammation is assessed to monitor progression, control and treatment of asthma. The collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) provides a non-invasive alternative to induced sputum samples for the monitoring of airway inflammation. Both samples can be confounded by salivary contamination. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of inflammatory mediators in samples of EBC, induced sputum and saliva samples from subjects with asthma.
