Pathophysiology
  • Multiple cellular mediators and inflammatory cells are involved in the changes that produce the different symptoms of asthma.
  • The reaction is a cascade that involves mast cells and macrophages, which in turn, release other chemical mediators.
    • Histamines, prostaglandins and leukotrienes are released in the reaction.
