Abstract:

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway, characterized by recurrent chest tightness, cough, wheezing and shortness of breath, airflow obstruction and airway hyperresponsiveness. There is great heterogeneity in the symptoms, inflammatory patterns, and response to treatment in asthma patients, the different asthma phenotypes were identified according to the heterogeneity. Further study on the phenotype is helpful to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of asthma, so as to improve the herapeutic effect, reduce the acute attack and improve the prognosis. Using induced sputum analysis techniques to detect airway inflammation, four different inflammatory phenotypes could be identified. This article reviews the clinical characteristics, lung function characteristics and treatment progress in asthma patients with different airway inflammation phenotypes.
