[Modulation of nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity].
Nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness (NBHR) is a typical characteristic of asthmatic patients. The impairment of NBHR is due to the airway inflammations caused by the viruses, irritants from the air and especially by specific allergens from natural and working environment. NBHR is diminished by elimination of inflammatory triggers as well as by antiinflammatory measures, the most important being inhalatory glucocorticoids which should be administered for long-term period in order to achieve the successful decrease of NBHR.
