Asthma is a bronchial disease, which is often allergic. Progress in the knowledge of its physiopathology allowed the demonstration of the local bronchial inflammatory process. The arguments supporting this new approach are experimental, clinical and therapeutical. This new approach is confirmed by the real therapeutical revolution, bronchial anti-inflammatory treatment based on inhaled corticosteroids. Furthermore, this approach was clearly synthetized by a new definition of asthma, which resulted from a recent international consensus.
哮喘是一种支气管疾病，通常具有过敏性。对其病理生理学认识的进展使得能够证实局部支气管炎症过程。支持这种新方法的论据来自实验、临床和治疗方面。基于吸入性皮质类固醇的支气管抗炎治疗这一真正的治疗革命证实了这种新方法。此外，这种方法通过哮喘的新定义得到了明确的综合阐述，该定义源于最近的国际共识。
