Abstract
Asthma is a common disease affecting approximately three to five percent 3-5% of the population. Despite this, the primary mechanisms have yet to be identified. As a result, there is no single criterion for defining asthma that can be applied in the clinical setting. Asthma is a chronic disease with acute exacerbations and severity that can resolve spontaneously, or with therapy, it is airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness to a variety of stimuli.
