The relationship between recurrent croup and bronchial asthma was evaluated by measuring bronchial hyperreactivity (methacholine challenge), physiologic parameters of upper airway obstruction, and skin response to environmental allergens. Patients with recurrent croup (n = 10) had a significantly higher degree of airway hyperreactivity and atopy than healthy children (n = 15), but significantly less than the patients with bronchial asthma (n = 30). No physiologic signs of upper airway obstruction could be detected at rest or following methacholine. It is suggested that bronchial asthma and recurrent croup share a few characteristics.
通过测量支气管高反应性（乙酰甲胆碱激发试验）、上气道阻塞的生理参数以及皮肤对环境过敏原的反应，评估复发性喉炎与支气管哮喘之间的关系。复发性喉炎患者（n = 10）气道高反应性和特应性程度显著高于健康儿童（n = 15），但显著低于支气管哮喘患者（n = 30）。静息时或乙酰甲胆碱激发后均未检测到上气道阻塞的生理体征。提示支气管哮喘和复发性喉炎有一些共同特征。
