Asthma bronchiale
摘要
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common diseases in childhood and adolescence with a prevalence of about 4%. The diagnosis is initially based on typical symptoms such as recurrent shortness of breath and coughing, followed by lung function tests and, if necessary, sensitization testing. The treatment follows current guidelines and includes both nonpharmacological and pharmacological measures, which are considered equally important. The goal is the optimal asthma control, which means broadly unrestricted organ function, daily activity, and social participation.
