AbstractNonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) has been reported to occur in patients with bronchiectasis. To evaluate this further, we studied 77 patients with stable bronchiectasis (noncystic fibrosis) with special reference to the prevalence of BHR to methacholine (MCh), and its relation to lung function, sputum characteristics, concommitant asthma, and atopy. The concentration of MCh required to produce a fall of 20% in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1), PC 20, was determined by Wright's nebulization tidal breathing method. BHR defined by a PC 20 ≤ 8 mg/ml was found in 21 of 47 (45%) subjects who underwent bronchial challenge. Presence of BHR was positively associated with low baseline spirometric values, diagnosis of asthma, long duration of disease, and elevated total IgE on univariant analysis, and was significantly related to FEV 1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio and asthma on multiple regression analysis. Ten of the 21 hyperreactive subjects did not have clinical asthma, whereas all 11 of 22 subjects with clinical asthma who underwent bronchial challenge were hyperreactive. Among those with BHR, there was a positive correlation between PC 20 and baseline FEV 1. When patients were further classified into asthmatic and nonasthmatic subjects, a positive correlation between PC 20 and FEV 1 was seen only in those without asthma. Frequency of infective episodes and inflammatory score of sputum assessed by average daily volume, purulence, and leukocyte count did not differ significantly in the groups with and without BHR. These results suggest that BHR in patients with bronchiectasis is associated with coexistent asthma and worse spirometric values, and not with the severity of bronchial sepsis.
