Asthma refers to a type of long-term inflammatory disease which affects the airways of the lungs. It occurs due to extra mucus blocking the airways causing them to swell and narrow down. It is identified by easily activated bronchospasms, recurrent and variable symptoms, as well as reversible airflow obstruction. This disease can affect both children and adults in various ways and with varied levels of severity. There are various signs and symptoms of asthma, including chest tightness, episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as respiratory infections, allergies, and genetic and environmental factors like exposure to allergens and air pollution. Breathing tests, health history inquiries and physical examinations are used to diagnose it. There is no treatment for asthma, but it can be managed by biologic treatments, anti-inflammatory drugs, and bronchodilators. This book explores all the important clinical aspects of asthma in the present day scenario. It is appropriate for students as well as for experts seeking detailed information about this medical condition. |
