SummaryRecurrent nocturnal asthma following a single exposure to Western Red Cedar sawdust was documented by measurements of peak flow rates in two sensitized subjects. The nocturnal asthma followed a dual asthmatic response in the first subject and a late (non‐immediate) asthmatic response in the second. Both subjects developed a 10‐fold reduction in the dose of histamine required to decrease the FEV1by 20. This cedar‐induced increase in non‐specific bronchial reactivity was maximal at the time of the recurrent nocturnal asthma, and persisted after nocturnal asthma had ceased and after FEV1had returned to normal. We hypothesize that the enhanced non‐specific bronchial reactivity which occurs following late asthmatic responses to bronchial challenge is the cause of recurrent nocturnal asthma following single exposure to a sensitiz
