We investigated immediate and late changes in airway responsiveness to histamine, after bronchoconstriction due to exercise combined with inhalation of cold air, in ten asthmatic subjects who came on six days. On the first visit, the provocation concentration producing 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20) histamine was obtained. After functional recovery, each subject walked on a treadmill whilst breathing dry, cold air. This resulted in an immediate fall greater than 15% (mean +/- SD = 31.9 +/- 11.0%) in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Following recovery, PC20 was measured again. FEV1 was then monitored for up to 6-8 h. PC20 was measured then and on the two following days at the same time of the day. Subjects were studied on three control days using the same design except that a resting period replaced the exercise with cold air. The mean changes in PC20 at each interval after exercise combined with cold air were not statistically significant. Physiologically significant changes were obtained in only two subjects, reaching a maximum 8 h after the manoeuvre. In these subjects, changes in PC20 were reproducible during a second series of visits. It is concluded that bronchial responsiveness to histamine is not generally influenced by the bronchoconstriction due to exercise combined with cold air.
