ABSTRACT
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, including wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. It affects individuals of all ages and is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and immune responses.The occurrence of asthma increased in the world over the last 25 years. The pathophysiology of asthma involves airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and obstruction, which can be triggered by allergens, irritants, respiratory infections, and physical activity. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical history, physical examination, and objective measures of lung function, such as spirometry. Effective management requires a comprehensive approach that includes long-term control medications, quick-relief treatments, avoidance of triggers, and patient education. Despite advancements in treatment, asthma remains a significant public health concern due to its prevalence and impact on quality of life. Ongoing research aims to improve understanding of asthma mechanisms and develop innovative therapies for better control of this chronic condition.
