1.Asthma is a common disorder that primarily involves the airways. The artical talks about how asthma happens were is happens and how to help it from getting worse."The accuracy of statistics about asthma is limited by confounding factors in patients older than age 35 years, changes in the International Classification of Diseases, the lower confirmation rates at autopsy, and problems related to the interpretation of death certificates (Busse, 1995). "
2"Approximately 80-85% of childhood asthma episodes are associated with prior viral exposure. Prior childhood pneumonia due to infection by respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and/or Chlamydia species was found in more than 50% of a small sample of children aged 7-9 years who later had asthma (ALA Denver, 2000). Treatment with antibiotics appropriate for these organisms improves the clinical signs and symptoms of asthma."
