dc.description | Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with
airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing particularly at night or in the early
morning. These episodes are usually associated with widespread but variable airflow
obstruction that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.However
the prevalence of asthma worldwide is around 200 million with a mortality of around
0.2 million per year.[1] The estimated burden of asthma in India is more than 15
million. The population prevalence of asthma reported in different field studies and
specific population group is reported to be variable. Onset of asthma can occur at any
age, but children and young adults are commonly affected. Although asthma can’t be
cured, clinical episode can be prevented and controlled by proper management. The
exact cause of asthma is not known. There are a variety of host and the environmental
risk factors | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Asthma is a common disease worldwide with significant ethnic and regional
variations. An increasing morbidity and mortality, as well as health care burden from
asthma have been recognized lately. Several evidence based guidelines have been
developed with an aim to standardize and improve the quality of management. These
guidelines seek to translate the advances in the understanding of pathogenesis of
asthma and in the development of new agents and strategies into practical application
at all levels of healthcare. Aim between management and Prophylaxis of the asthma | en_US |
