Airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma
Hosp Pract (Off Ed).

Abstract
Some asthma triggers exert their major action through cellular inflammatory mechanisms, with resultant airway hyperreactivity to both allergenic and nonallergenic stimuli. Other triggers are simply bronchospastic, so that they do not increase vulnerability. Anti-inflammatory treatments are more important than purely bronchodilator therapy is for long-term control of asthma.
