- Abstract
Asthma is disease of the human respiratory system in which the airways constrict and become narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise or emotional stress. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, asthma prevalence is predicted to increase more rapidly in the coming years. Asthma is a common disease and acute severe asthma exacerbation can be lifethreatening. This article aims to review recent advances in understanding of risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of severe asthma exacerbation.
