Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways with a characteristic infiltrate of eosinophils, lymphocytes, mast cells, and monocytes in the bronchial epithelium and peribronchial tissue. Bronchial-, bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchoscopic biopsies have proved to be safe and useful techniques for studying the inflammatory processes in the airways, they have contributed to our basic knowledge concerning the pathomechanism of asthma. The data derived from the clinical and experimental studies have made possible to perform an international consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.
哮喘是一种气道慢性炎症性疾病,其特征是支气管上皮和支气管周围组织中有嗜酸性粒细胞、淋巴细胞、肥大细胞和单核细胞浸润。支气管肺泡灌洗和支气管镜活检已被证明是研究气道炎症过程的安全且有用的技术,它们为我们关于哮喘发病机制的基础知识做出了贡献。来自临床和实验研究的数据使得就哮喘的诊断和治疗达成国际共识成为可能。
