Asthma: Episodes Narrowing Airway Only Respiratory Infections

Asthma is a condition characterized by reversible airway narrowing caused by smooth muscle contraction within the airway walls. It is characterized by airway obstruction, inflammation, and hyperresponsiveness. The pathophysiology involves type 2 T helper cells promoting eosinophilic inflammation and IgE production, which triggers the release of histamine and cysteinyl leukotrienes. Many potential chemical mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and others contribute to bronchoconstriction. Genetic and environmental factors can predispose individuals to developing asthma.
