Bronchial hyperreactivity is a characteristic feature of asthma and can be evaluated by different challenges. The aim of this study was to compare exercise, methacholine (MCH), and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) challenges in 135 children and young adults (mean age +/- SD, 12.4+/-3.9 years) with a
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine and adenosine 5′-monophosphate, and the presence and degree of atopy in young children with asthma

Asthma is now considered as an inflammatory airway disease. There is evidence that allergen avoidance reduces clinical symptoms in atopic asthma. We investigated the effect of a month's stay in the hypoallergenic environment of Davos, Switzerland (1560 m) which is relatively free of house dust mite
Indirect tests of bronchial responsiveness to agents such as adenosine 5Јmonophosphate (AMP) or bradykinin might be more specific markers of a therapeutic responses to anti-inflammatory treatment than a test of direct responsiveness to agents such as methacholine. In children selected from the commu
