Airway macrophages releasability in bronchial asthma
Abstract
Asthma is a multifactorial disease on genetic basis. Its development is influenced by maternal and environmental factors, i.e. allergens and adjuvants. Early identification of candidates at high risk for development of asthma will enable giving recommendations on preventive measures focussing on exposure to tobacco smoke and other pollutants, indoor and outdoor allergens and possibly viral infections during infancy.
