The prevalence of asthma in patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 has been studied and varies widely in the different series. However, the prevalence in SARS-infected patients not requiring hospitalization is not known. The objective of this study was to analyze the presence of asthma in a consecutive series of patients who tested positive in the RT-PCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 and did not require hospital admission.
A total of 218 patients (58% of those who tested positive) did not require hospitalization; they had a median age of 45 years (IQR 34-57) and 57% were female. Six patients (2.8%) had a previous diagnosis of asthma. Only one patient developed a mild aggravation of asthma symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Few patients with asthma were infected by SARS-CoV-2, and this infection was not a significant cause of asthma exacerbation.
在因 SARS-CoV-2 住院的患者中，哮喘的患病率已被研究过，并且在不同的系列中差异很大。但是，尚不清楚未住院的 SARS 感染患者的患病率。本研究的目的是分析连续系列 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR 检测呈阳性且无需住院的患者中哮喘的存在情况。
共有 218 名患者（占检测呈阳性者的 58％）无需住院；他们的中位年龄为 45 岁（IQR 34-57），其中 57％为女性。有 6 名患者（2.8％）有哮喘的既往诊断。只有一名患者因 SARS-CoV-2 感染而出现哮喘症状轻度加重。
感染 SARS-CoV-2 的哮喘患者很少，并且这种感染不是哮喘加重的主要原因。
