Abstract:
10 patients with a history of bronchial asthma showed in the symptom-free interval a clear negative correlation between bronchial hyperreactivity and airway inflammation measured by mc. 10 normal subjects without any history of asthma and no signs of airway inflammation showed unimpaired mc-measurements, and the same degree of hyperreactivity as the symptom-free asthmatics.
