Immunochemical properties of anti-DNA antibodies in the sera of patients with Escherichia coli bacteremia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is useful in assessing eosinophilic airway inflammation. Smoking may modify airway inflammation and reduce FENO levels, compromising the diagnostic value of FENO in smokers. How smoking influences FENO in atopic versus nonatopic asthmatics is unknown. The...
