Iron Measured in Nasal Exudate Samples as a New and Useful Biomarker in the Differential Diagnosis of Patients with Acute Stroke

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that iron levels in nasal exudate may be useful in the acute stage for the differential diagnosis between ischemic and hemorrhagic damage in acute stroke patients. They also open a potential field to study other biomarkers in nasal exudate in several neurological disorders. Clinical studies must be performed to confirm our results.Cerebrovasc Dis
