Popis: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). A bronchial provocation test (BPT) is used to test for AHR. However forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVA total of 85 patients performing a BPT were included in the study. Bronchial reactivity was defined as the provocative dosage or provocative concentration causing a 20% decrease in FEV1 (PC-20) or a 100% increase in sRaw (PC+100).No significant response in either FEVTwenty-nine patients (34%) showed a significant increase in sRaw without a fall in FEV
