This volume explains the essential immunological and molecular mechanisms that lie behind the clinical disease of asthma. Individual chapters describe the clinical aspects of asthma, the pathology of asthma and the fundamental biological concepts underlying inflammation.

Asthma is increasing in frequency and severity. New avenues of research are leading to a greater understanding as to why and how some individuals develop asthma, mounting a powerful inflammatory response to normally harmless antigens. In addition to describing the clinical and pathological aspects of asthma, this book explains the immunological and molecular mechanisms underlying the disease, including the nature of the inflammatory response, the role of individual cell types and mediators, and the genetic basis of this disorder.

Clinical aspects of asthma. The pathology of asthma. Inflammation in asthma - I. principles of the inflammatory approach. II. the cells. III. the mediators. The genetics of asthma. Treatments for asthma, present and future. Conclusions and summary.
