El uso de los niveles de IgE en suero, eosinófilos en sangre o el FENO únicamente como biomarcadores en asma pueden conducir a errores en la caracterización del amplio espectro de la inflamación tipo 2 en asma7,8
Depender de un rango limitado de biomarcadores, puede conllevar un control subóptimo de los pacientes con inflamación tipo 2 en asma 7,8
EOS, eosinophils; FeNO, fractional exhaled nitric oxide.
