[Asthma: physiopathology].
Physiopathological components of asthmatic disease are the fundamentals of present therapeutic research on asthma. It is never certain what is the primary event. Better understood are the effects of the mediators. At the anatomic level, the following are always found: hyperplasia of smooth muscle, inflammatory infiltration by polynuclear eosinophils and glandular hypertrophy with hypersecretion. Immunology will be considered separately.
