Abstract
Playing a wind or brass (W/B) instrument is considered a strenuous activity for the respiratory system. Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a potential marker of airway inflammation, and the aim of this study was to compare levels of FeNO between W/B musicians to a group of people who did not play these instruments
