Bronchial Asthma
• Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the
airways that causes recurrent episodes of wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough,
particularly at night and/or in the early morning.
![Page 3: Bronchial asthma By Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012908/5697c0001a28abf838cc1f4f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
- These symptoms are usually associated with
widespread bronchoconstriction that is reversible,
either spontaneously or with treatment.
- It is thought that this inflammation is due to an
increase in airway responsiveness (bronchospasm)
to a variety of stimuli.

• Some of these stimuli would have little or no
effect on non-asthmatics with normal airways.
• Many cells play a role in the inflammatory
response, in particular eosinophils, mast cells,
macrophages, T lymphocytes, neutrophils,
and epithelial cells.

-Classification of bronchial asthma:-Classification of bronchial asthma:
I. Based on the frequency and severity of
symptoms.
-Categorization into;
Mild.
Moderate.
Severe persistent asthma.

II. Based on response to treatment: Steroid-dependent.
Steroid-resistant asthma.
III. Based on the type of stimulus: Extrinsic (initiated by exposure to an extrinsic antigen).
intrinsic (initiated by diverse, non-immune mechanisms,
including stress, emotions and exercise).

IV: Based on the events that trigger bronchoconstriction.
-These include;
Seasonal.
drug-induced.
occupational asthma.
asthmatic bronchitis in smokers.

- Atopy (type I hyperesensitivity reaction) due to exposure to exogenous non-bacterial antigens e.g. house dust, animal dandruff, pollens, food or spores of fungi.
- Positive family history of atopic diseases.
- Due to increased vagal reactivity of air ways to various types of stimuli e.g. physical exercise, anxiety, emotions.

* Grossly:
Small bronchi and bronchioles are
spastic (thick and narrow).
Trachea & bronchi are hyperaemic
and covered by mucus.
Lung tissue shows Acute emphysema
(due to partial bronchial obstruction).
![Page 11: Bronchial asthma By Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012908/5697c0001a28abf838cc1f4f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• * Microscopically:• The small bronchi and bronchioles show;
1. Thick basement membrane 2. Narrow lumens, contains mucus plugs contain
whorls of sheded epithelial cells (curschmann spirals), numerous eosinophils and charcot-leyden crystals (esinophil membranes).
3. The subepithelial tissue show; • Hyperplasia of mucous glands.• Hypertrophy of the smooth muscle.• Inflammatory infiltrate formed mainly of eosinophils.

* Clinical Course:
• The classic asthmatic attack lasts up to several
hours and is followed by prolonged coughing;
the raising of copious mucous secretions
provides considerable relief of the respiratory
difficulty. In some patients, these symptoms
persist at a low level all the time.
![Page 17: Bronchial asthma By Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012908/5697c0001a28abf838cc1f4f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• In its most severe form, status asthmaticus,
the severe acute paroxysm persists for days
and even weeks, and under these
circumstances, ventilatory function might be
so impaired as to cause severe cyanosis and
even death.
![Page 18: Bronchial asthma By Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012908/5697c0001a28abf838cc1f4f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The clinical diagnosis is aided by the
demonstration of an elevated eosinophil
count in the peripheral blood and the finding
of eosinophils, Curschmann spirals, and
Charcot-Leyden crystals in the sputum.
![Page 19: Bronchial asthma By Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012908/5697c0001a28abf838cc1f4f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• In the usual case, with intervals of freedom from
respiratory difficulty, the disease is more discouraging
and disabling than lethal.
• With appropriate therapy to relieve the attacks,
patients with asthma are able to maintain a
productive life. Occasionally, the disease disappears
spontaneously.

* Complications: 1.Pulmonary hypertension: causing Core pulmonale or heart failure.2.Emphysema.3.Bacterial infection causing persistent bronchitis, bronchiectasis or pneumonia.4.Status asthmaticus: persistent attacks for days or weeks. May lead to respiratory failure.
