Abstract
The bronchial responsiveness of a group of asthmatic children was studied using histamine stimulation after a single dose of theophylline and after placebo. Theophylline, when levels were greater than 10 micrograms ml‐1 significantly reduced responsiveness but only by just over one doubling concentration of histamine (P less than 0.001).This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
