Also see alternative classification of asthma
Etiology
- genetic predisposition interacts with additional factors (below)
- most childhood asthma exacerbations are caused by viral infections, esp. rhinovirus, RSV & influenza virus[3,50]
- exercise-induced asthma (also cold air)
- endurance swimmers with high prevalence of asthma[74]
- GERD-induced asthma[26]
- 80% of adult asthma with some reflux
- innervation of lower esophagus (vagus) is same as innervation of lungs
- theophylline, EtOH & tobacco increase reflux
- sinobronchial-induced asthma
- pollens
- dust & dust mites
- animal dander
- cockroaches*
- occupational asthma:
- allergy to Latex
- industrial agents
- fumes
- household cleaning products including green products, cleaning sprays & disinfecting wipes[134]
- pharmaceutical agents
- beta-adrenergic antagonists can worsen asthma
- ACE inhibitors can cause coughing in asthmatics
- aspirin & other NSAIDs can cause acute, severe asthma
- acetaminophen in children & adolescents not a risk[36]
- association with use for respiratory tract infections[36]
- nitrogen dioxide exposure[10]
- mycoplasma or chlamydia may be associated with attack, especially 1st attack in children[13]
- smoke & smoking
- *peanut allergy[68]?
- alterations in intestinal flora, specifically lower levels of Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, Veillonella, & Rothia genera, at 3 months of age, associated with antibiotic use, caesarian section & infant formula, linked to risk of developing asthma[75]
- exposure to indoor environmental allergens, tobacco smoke, & viruses may predispose to asthma[3]
- menopause is a risk factor for new-onset asthma (RR=3.4)[77]
* exposure to cockroach, mouse, & cat allergens before age 1 diminish likelihood of asthma at age 3[60]
* exposure to dogs & farm animals during infancy reduces risk of asthma at age 6 years (13% for dog exposure; 52% for farm animal exposure)[76]
* also see asthma syndrome
Epidemiology
- 5-8% of adult population in U.S.[3], increased % in elderly (> 65 years), women, Blacks & those living in poverty[3]
- more common in boys than in girls until adolescence
- more women develop asthma as adults, especially nonallergic asthma[51]
- asthma control may worsen during menstruation[51]
- infants whose parents clean their pacifiers by sucking on them are at lower risk for developing asthma[52]
- exposure to bacterial endotoxin early in life inhibits allergic inflammation by stimulating the innate immune system thus diminishing risk of asthma in children raised on farms (traditional vs large-scale mechanized farming)[86]
- 1/3 of adult onset asthma may represent misdiagnosis[93]
- diagnosis without confirmatory spirometry contibutory[93]
- in ambient nitrogen dioxide & PM2.5 1993-2014 in Southern Califronia were associated with lower asthma incidence in children[117]
- no associations for ozone or PM10
Pathology
- mucous gland hypertrophy with mucous hypersecretion & mucous plugs
- epithelial desquamation & replacement primarily with proliferating goblet cells
- loss of normal epithelial barriers to respiratory irritants & exposure of nerve endings
- widening of basement membrane
- intraepithelial leukocytes & mast cells (inflammation)
- mast cell degranulation
- eosinophilic infiltration of submucosa
- in asphyxic asthma, neutrophils predominate in airways
- round cell infiltration of bronchial submucosa
- bronchial hyper-responsiveness (pathognomonic feature)
- asthmatics are 100 times more sensitive to the broncho- constricting effects of LTD4 than normal individuals
- obstruction of airflow by secretions & edema of bronchial mucosa
- disruption of elastic fibers[2]
Genetics
(also see OMIM database entries)
- G protein-coupled receptor for asthma susceptibility (GPRA) gene
- asthma-associated alternatively spliced gene 1
- susceptibility to asthma associated with:
- defects in DPP10
- defects in ADAM33
- defects in TBX21
- polymorphism(s) in PHF11
- single nucleotide polymorphisms at 17q21[50]
- other implicated genes: MS4A2, PLA2G7
Clinical manifestations
- symptoms may be intermittent, seasonal, related to workplace or activity
- occur in response to various stimuli (see etiology)
- upper respiratory symptoms may be initial presentation in older adults[3][115]
- intermittent dyspnea, wheezing, cough, chest tightness
- hyperinflation; use of accessory muscles
- impaired lung expansion
- decreased fremitus
- hyperresonant; low diaphragm to percussion
- prolonged expiration
- nasal polyps
Laboratory
- arterial blood gas (hospitalized patients)
- pCO2 is often low
- a normal or mildly elevated pCO2 in severe asthma may be a sign of respiratory muscle fatigue & impending respiratory failure[3]
- complete blood count (CBC)
- sputum cytology: 53% with sputum eosinophilia[38]
- IgE in serum*[3]
- low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been associated with more-frequent asthma exacerbations, airway hyper-responsiveness, & decreased lung function, but vitamin D supplementation is not helpful[59]
- fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)[124]
- not for directing treatment of asthma in the general population[3]
* identifies individual eligible for biologic agents (see management)
Diagnostic procedures
- pulmonary function testing:
- often a reduction in FEV1 > than any reduction in FVC
- decreased FEV1/FVC
- improvement in FEV1 or FVC following inhalation of a bronchodilator (>= 12% & 200 mL)[3]
- more severe obstruction resulting in air trapping is identified by an increased residual volume
- DLCO is typically normal or elevated in patients with asthma
- flow volume loop may distinguish intrathoracic from extrathoracic airway obstruction[95]
- may be discrepancy between results of spirometry & symptoms in school-age children[62]
- spirometry useful in these cases[62]
- PFT findings do not correlate with patient's subjective symptoms[118]
- every 2 years[24]
- normal spirometry does not rule out asthma
- irreversible airflow obstruction, restrictive pattern (FEV1/FVC > 0.8)
- often a reduction in FEV1 > than any reduction in FVC
- methacholine challenge: known airway irritant
- a negative test rules out asthma
- a positive test does not establish diagnosis[3]
- useful in patients with cough & normal spirometry[3][48]
- peak flow meter (useful at home, emergency department)
- spirometry before & after workplace exposure useful for diagnosis of occupational asthma[3]
- allergen skin testing
- 70-90% of patients positive[3]

Management
- see acute asthma (asthma exacerbation) &/or status asthmaticus
- quick relief or rescue therapy, albuterol MDI/HFA (all patients)
- glucocorticoids are the most effective class of asthma control medications[3]

- goals of asthma management:
- reduce chronic airway inflammation
- alleviate symptoms of disease
- prevent exacerbations
- eliminate contributing medications
- beta-blockers (including ophthalmic agents)
- aspirin, NSAIDs if patient is sensitive
- identify precipitating conditions

- ensure proper technique for using inhalers[3]
- during an acute exacerbation, additional goals include:
- ensure adequate gas exchange
- reduce the work of breathing
- chronic management goals also include:
- avoid side affects of medications
- identify precipitants of exacerbations
- allergen skin testing may be indicated
- manage factors contributing to poor asthma control
- assess asthma control through use of validated questionnaires[3]
