title: Beta-adrenoceptor agonist responses in the skin and lungs of asthmatic subjects.
abstract: Concomitant intradermal injection of salbutamol inhibits histamine-induced weal volume in the skin of atopic asthmatic subjects and the degree of this inhibition (index of beta-adrenergic effect in the skin) correlates with the bronchodilator effect of inhaled salbutamol in the same subjects (index of beta-adrenergic effect in the lung).
