[Factors influencing patterns of airway response after allergen challenge in patients with bronchial asthma].

We examined patterns of airway response of thirty nine asthma patients who had positive responses on allergen inhalation tests. Six types of inhaled allergens were used: house dust mite, animal, pollen, plant, mold, and others. Three patterns of responses were found: isolated immediate asthmatic response (IAR), immediate and late response (Dual), and isolated late asthmatic response (LAR).
