Asthma: Risk Factors, Aetiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnostic Tests and Treatment

Cold air is dry and has
pollens or mold which
activate antibodies
Antibodies result in humoral
response, Th0 calls become Th2
cells
Respiratory walls
thickenings, musis
production
Cell produces scarring
Pathophysiology
Risk Factors
Aetiology
Clinical
manifestations
Diagnostic tests
Treatment
Peanut
allergen
Cold air
Abnormality in
breathing
Tightening of
chest walls,
shortness in
breatg
Shortness in breath
Immuno
modifiers
Ltukotriene modifiers
Cells proliferate
Remodelling of airway
Mucus cells become larger
and larger
Mucus production increases
Hay fever
infection
corticosteroids
Adherence e to treatment
Medication
therapy, beta 2
adrinergic
agonists
Anticholinergic
compounds
sleeplessness
Airway becomes hyperactive
and bronchiospasm takes
place
Peak flow monitoring
