Abstract

Pharmacologic bronchoprovocation challenge (PBC) can be of considerable clinical value in patients in the pediatric age group and adults because bronchial hyperresponsiveness is present in virtually all symptomatic asthmatics and it can be accurately, reliably, and safely demonstrated by PBC. The principal, proven indication for performing PBC is to rule out or help rule in the diagnostic possibility of asthma as the cause of any unexplained chest complaints in patients with normal or near normal spirometric values.
