To investigate the relationship between asthma and COVID-19.
We searched the existing literature and researches to analyze the possible reasons.
The possible reasons for the very low COVID-19 infection in asthma patients in China may be as follows: the expression of ACE2 in asthma patients is relatively low; the use of ICS in asthma patients may have protective effect; data bias and ethnic differences are also possible reasons, too.
The relationship between asthma patients and COVID-19 has not been completely clear, which needs further study.
研究哮喘与 COVID-19 的关系。
我们检索了现有文献和研究，以分析可能的原因。
中国哮喘患者 COVID-19 感染率极低的可能原因如下：哮喘患者 ACE2 表达相对较低；哮喘患者使用 ICS 可能具有保护作用；数据偏差和种族差异也可能是原因之一。
哮喘患者与 COVID-19 的关系尚未完全明确，需要进一步研究。
