Bronchial Provocation Tests [PDF]

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1979
Certain patients, especially those with asthma, exhibit an increased bronchoconstrictor response to a variety of stimuli. Bronchial provocation tests have developed as a method of assessing this bronchial hyperreactivity. They involve the measurement of lung function tests relating to airway calibre before and after brief exposure to a constrictor ...

Allergy to Cats: Current Perspectives and Therapeutic Options. [PDF]

Clin Transl Allergy
ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma caused by cat dander have a highly variable prevalence across countries, which can reach 30% of the population in some regions. Cat allergens are widely distributed in the environment, making exposure nearly unavoidable, even in non‐cat‐owning households.

Does bronchial hyperresponsiveness predict a diagnosis of cough variant asthma in adults with chronic cough: a cohort study

Respiratory Research, 2021
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a typical, but non-specific feature of cough variant asthma (CVA). This study aimed to determine whether bronchial hyperresponsiveness may be considered as a predictor of CVA in non-smoking adults with chronic cough (CC).

Bronchial Provocation Tests in Asthma [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1970
Bronchial provocation tests are necessary for precise aetiological diagnosis in bronchial asthma. This is illustrated by the results in 9,364 bronchial provocation tests compared with skin tests and nasal tests. The technique of bronchial provocation testing and its interpretation are described in detail.
