Introduction
• Asthma is a complex
syndrome
characterized by a
state of airways
hyperresponsiveness
(AH) and caused by a
multi-cellular
inflammatory reaction
that leads to airway
obstruction.
• Recruitment and activation of mast cells, macrophages, antigen-
presenting dendritic cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and T lymphocytes
result in an inflammatory and cellular infiltration of the airways.
• Type 2 T-helper cells (Th2) have a major role in the activation of the
immune cascade that leads to the release of many mediators such as
interleukins (IL)-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and granulocyte macrophage
colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
• Some mediators such as IL-4 activate B lymphocytes to produce
immunoglobulin E (IgE), and others (for example, IL-3, IL-5, and GM-
CSF) are related to the eosinophilic airway inflammation.
• Severe asthma may present various inflammatory phenotypes, such
as persistent eosinophilic bronchitis, neutrophilic infiltration of the
airway, and a pauci-granulocytopenic type of inflammation.
