Abstract:
The current pandemic of COVID-19 and the identification of accessible biomarkers of disease progression is of clinical importance in the management of this novel and serious disease. This study was completed to provide information regarding 1 possible uniquely upregulated marker in this illness, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN-1). A literature search was undertaken to provide medical data regarding EDN-1 as a biomarker in the clinical setting. The literature identified was further analyzed to identify its use in the clinical setting of viral disease and asthma.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
