Clinical and diagnostic features of mild asthma

Today in the world there is a high prevalence of asthma, and the mild severity occupies a leading position in the structure of morbidity. A mild asthma is a pathology that, with a prolonged asymptomatic course, can lead to severe exacerbations, and even death. Despite this, at present there are difficulties leading to an insufficient and untimely diagnosis of asthma, as a result of which exacerbations are often recorded in patients with a mild severity of the disease. The literature review examined the clinical features of mild asthma, as well as the modern principles of treatment of patients with mild disease severity. In addition, a review of recent studies aimed at studying morphological and pathophysiological changes in mild asthma is presented. Mild asthma, as a rule, is stable, but sometimes it can spontaneously develop into extremely severe, and the causes of such changes remain unclear. The analysis of the studies revealed endogenous and exogenous factors that affect the induction of bronchial asthma and exacerbate its course. It is also important that bronchial obstruction, apparently, appears from the first years of life and persists in the future, in connection with which it is important to understand the value of diagnosis measures and the effectiveness of interventions in the early stages of bronchial obstruction to prevent disease progression. In this regard, the problems of early diagnosis of mild asthma and the timely appointment of appropriate therapy remain today important and relevant.
