Overview
The authors examined, using the non-specific bronchoprovocation test, the bronchial reactivityin 247 children, average ate 15.8 years.Bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) was found in 16.5% of the group. It was found significantlymore frequently in atopic subjects. If the atopy was associated with clinical manifestations, thepercentage of bronchial hyperreactors increased to 30%. In the tested asthmatic subjects of theinvestigated group (atopic or non-atopic) BHR was recorded of the investigated group (atopicor non-atopic) BHR was recorded in 77.8%. The most important predictive anamnestic factorfor possible BHR seem to be data on sports inactivity combined with dyspnoea. In these childrenBHR was present in 50.0%.
Key words:
acetylcholine test - asthma bronchiale - atopy - bronchial hyperreactivity - dyspnoea- sports inactivity.
