- Abstract
The article presents a report on the incidence of Asthma in COVID-19 patients in the U.S. Topics include the comparison of the asthma prevalence among patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and asthma prevalence in the general population; and that seasonal coronaviruses typically do not contribute to hospitalizations due to asthma exacerbations because they primarily cause upper respiratory infections.
