Abstract
452 patients with bronchial asthma were subjected to clinical-functional and immunological check-up. All of them were divided into two groups: the first group – 286 patients with the beginning of disease development after the age of 40, i.e. people with late asthma, second group – 166 persons with bronchial asthma beginning before the age of 40. It has been shown that the late asthma has severer, unstable course and atypical clinical manifestation. Eosinophilic, neutrophilic inflammation is the specific marker of late asthma. The revealed immunological peculiarities of late asthma help to make the diagnosis and to differentiate late asthma from early forms of disease. Diagnostic and prognosis markers of late asthma were developed. The treatment programs considering the clinical and immunology peculiarities have been elaborated.
