Abstract
Rationale: We hypothesized that cough stress of the airway wall results in a self-perpetuating cough-reflex cycle in which antigen-induced increase in cough-reflex sensitivity results in pathologic cough, and the cough in turn further amplifies cough-reflex sensitivity.Objectives: To examine cough-reflex sensitivity in an experimental animal model.Methods: We developed an experimental guinea pig model in which airway collapse similar to that in...
