A 34-year-old male patient with personal (i.e., rhinitis) and family allergy consulted our pulmonary department for recurrent wheezing dyspnea associated with exertional dyspnea level 2 according to the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale. Asthma diagnosis was suspected and a spirometry test was required. During five consecutive spirometric efforts, the patient developed a SIB with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV<sub>1</sub>) decreases (in mL and % of initial value [%<sub>Initial</sub>]) of 50 mL (1%<sub>Initial</sub>), 270 mL (8%<sub>Initial</sub>), 480 mL (14%<sub>Initial</sub>), and 600 mL (18%<sub>Initial</sub>), respectively. Following the spirometry tests, the patient presented symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The bronchodilator test (i.e., 400 µg of short-acting bronchodilator) was clinically significant with an increase of FEV<sub>1</sub> by 1,260 mL (40%<sub>Predicted</sub>) (FEV<sub>1</sub> passed from 2.80 L [65%<sub>Predicted</sub>] to 4.06 L [95%<sub>Predicted</sub>]). An alleviation of symptoms was noted, which supports the diagnosis of SIB. Clinicians should exercise caution when asking asthmatic patients to repeatedly perform DI for spirometry testing.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 3","pages":"15579883251339559"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12103678/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144141277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
