Abstract

airway hyperresponsiveness airway responsiveness asthma atopy methacholine respiratory health
This paper reported relationships between airway responsiveness following a methacholine inhalation, wheezing and asthma. The paper concluded that childhood asthma is not always associated with airway hyper-responsiveness, that hyper-responsiveness, if present, is not necessarily constant even if symptoms persist, but that persistent hyper-responsiveness is almost invariably associated with symptomatic asthma.
