Asthma

Asthma is a disorder of the passage of air through the respiratory tract, particularly in small-calibre bronchial tubes. It causes difficulty breathing and the patient feels like they are drowning and must increase their effort in an attempt to breathe better.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that results in variable airflow obstruction. It often changes throughout the day (it can get worse at night) and improves with treatment and then reappears later.

The illness is basically caused by an inflammatory mechanism.

Skin allergy tests

Skin tests are the technique most commonly used to begin diagnosing an allergy. Following a meticulous clinical history, it is decided which skin tests may be useful, depending on the case.

Skin allergy tests serve to find out if a patient is "sensitised" to a particular substance, if their body recognises the substance and reacts when it comes into contact with it. These tests DO NOT DIAGNOSE an allergy. They are only positive if accompanied by one of the symptoms compatible with an allergy, helping a diagnosis to be reached.
