Abstract
In patients with allergic rhinitis or intermittent asthma, methacholine or AMP-induced changes in FVC are not significantly related to the presence or level of plateau. Furthermore, these 2 constituents of the concentration-response curve can be modified independently by a proinflammatory stimulus. These results suggest that the bronchoconstrictor-induced change in FVC cannot be used as a surrogate estimation of the level of plateau.
