  • Title: [Bronchial provocation test in bronchial asthma].
    Author: Fujimura M, Kamio Y, Hashimoto T.
    Journal: Rinsho Byori; 1993 Feb; 41(2):154-9. PubMed ID: 8361017.
    Abstract:
    Methacholine provocation test, bronchial reversibility test, aspirin inhalation test, and cough provocation test have been performed at our institute to examine pathophysiology and to diagnose bronchial diseases. Bronchial responsiveness to methacholine correlated to baseline pulmonary functions, especially to % predicted value of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (%FEV1) in asthma and sinobronchial syndrome. Bronchial reversibility was greater with beta 2-agonists than with muscarinic antagonists in asthma while it was less with beta 2-agonists than with muscarinic antagonists in sinobronchial syndrome. Our protocol for aspirin inhalation test consists of a screening test and threshold measurement test and is useful for diagnosis of analgesics-induced asthma. Capsaicin provocation test to measure airway cough receptor sensitivity is used to diagnose chronic cough.
