The guidelines [1] on using methacholine challenge testing (MCCT) to evaluate for airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), published in 2000, provided a figure that allowed clinicians to calculate posttest ...

Background Methacholine hyperresponsiveness is prevalent in elite athletes. Comparative studies have hitherto been limited to methacholine, eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea and exercise. This study ...
