WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Thunderstorm asthma (TA) is triggered by specific severe convective weather conditions and elevated airborne allergen concentrations, leading to a rapid increase in asthma cases within a short period. Three TA incidents have been previously reported in China, occurring in Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: We report the first documented thunderstorm asthma event (TAE) in Chongqing, China, and conducted a case-control study revealing that allergic rhinitis is an independent risk factor among susceptible individuals.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: Health organizations should conduct targeted health education for at-risk populations to improve public emergency response capabilities. Further studies are needed to investigate the meteorological conditions leading to TAE.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些？：雷暴性哮喘（TA）由特定的强对流天气条件和空气中过敏原浓度升高引发，导致短时间内哮喘病例迅速增加。此前中国已报告三起TA事件，分别发生在陕西、宁夏和内蒙古。
本报告补充了哪些内容？：我们报告了中国重庆首例有记录的雷暴性哮喘事件（TAE），并开展了一项病例对照研究，结果显示变应性鼻炎是易感人群中的一个独立危险因素。
对公共卫生实践有哪些启示？：卫生组织应对高危人群开展有针对性的健康教育，以提高公众应急反应能力。需要进一步研究以调查导致TAE的气象条件。
