Allergic asthmatic patients were challenged with specific allergen resulting in early and dual asthmatic reaction. FMLP induced granulocyte chemiluminescence was measured before and in 10 min, 60 min, 4 hours and 24 hours after allergen challenge. We have observed significant decrease of granulocyte chemiluminescence in both groups. In patient with early asthmatic reaction decrease of luminescence was observed during first hour only. In patients with dual asthmatic reaction decrease of luminescence was observed during 24 hours after allergen challenge.
