[2 types of infective-allergic bronchial asthma]

The author finds it necessary to identify primary infective-allergic bronchial asthma (IABA) determined by sensitization with pathogenic or nonpathogenic microorganisms without a concomitant inflammatory process distinguishable from secondary one developing as a complication of chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases. Differential diagnosis of both types of infective-allergic and noninfective-allergic bronchial asthma was proposed.
