    Abstract:
    Clinicians who perform and interpret airway challenge tests must understand the pharmacology involved. This knowledge helps one appreciate the need for certain procedures and the importance of proper technique. Methacholine and histamine are the most commonly used airway challenge agents. The authors review the pharmacology of methacholine and histamine airway challenge testing and discuss issues regarding the performance and interpretation of an airway challenge test.
