Our primary outcome was the difference in detection rate for any respiratory pathogen between children with asthma with acute exacerbation and controls (ie, stable asthma). Secondary outcomes consisted of differences in the clinical severity of asthma exacerbation, lung function parameters, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FeNO) in relation to patients with different respiratory pathogens. HRV infection was associated with asthma exacerbation in the children, which is consistent with FeNO was the only parameter that differed between patients with and without HRV, being signifi cantly lower in the former group ( P 5 .018).
