    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Pediatric Respiratory Medicine

    Context:

    • Asthma presents with airway hyperresponsiveness.
    • Infantile asthma symptoms mimic other airway diseases.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the diagnostic methods for asthma.
    • To describe management strategies for asthma.

    Summary:

    • Asthma is defined by exaggerated tracheal and bronchial responses.
    • Recurrent wheezing results from widespread airway narrowing.
    • Diagnostic tools include patient history, chest X-ray, specific IgE levels, and pulmonary function tests.
    • Acute dyspnea is managed with nebulized sympathomimetics, theophylline, and oxygen.
    • Recurrent episodes are prevented through environmental control, dinatrium cromoglycicum, ketotifen, corticosteroids, and hyposensitization.
