Asthma

Asthma is a global health problem. It can affect all age groups. Asthma is characterized by intermittent airflow obstruction, airway inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Although it can be controlled if it is diagnosed early with appropriate care , it can lead to hospitalisations and even death especially in patients with poorly controlled asthma.
