DEFINITION
Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the
airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role.
In susceptible individuals this inflammation causes recurrent
episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and
coughing particularly at night or early in the early morning. These episodes are usually associated with widespread but
variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible either
spontaneously or with treatment.
Asthma is a common and potentially fatal disorder,
