Possible Impact of Salivary Influence on Cytokine Analysis in Exhaled Breath Condensate

BACKGROUND: Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is thought to contain substances of the lower airway epithelial lining fluid (ELF) aerosolized by turbulent flow. However, contamination by saliva may affect the EBC when collected orally. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the cytokine ex...
