Raising awareness about allergic diseases: Asthma
Allergy is a public health problem of pandemic proportions that affects more than 150 million people in Europe.
According to experts, 1 out of every 3 children have an allergy and they expect the disease to affect more than 50% of all Europeans in 10 years’ time.
Allergic diseases can limit activities and lower the quality of life, particularly when they coexist in the same individual. Apart from individual suffering allergic diseases present a very high socioeconomic burden to patients and families.
"The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) has launched an awareness campaign to help the society to better understand how allergy sufferers feel, how profound allergy impacts quality of life, how severe and costly the diseases can become and how important is to diagnose early and better manage this disease."

Allergy and asthma are closely linked

Word from EAACI's Asthma Section The reasons behind asthma are not well understood, however people with allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema, food allergy and those who have asthma running in the family are at risk of developing asthma. You may have asthma if you experience recurrent episodes of coughing, wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness. The complaints may be triggered by colds, exposure to cigarette smoke, air pollution and / or allergens such as house dust mites, grass pollens, cats, etc. The symptoms increase, decrease or disappear from time to time.
Allergic asthma is considered a special phenotype and composes about 80% of cases in children and 40% in adults. Children with allergic asthma may have more severe and persistent disease and both adults and children with allergic asthma may benefit from a specific form of treatment called allergy vaccines. The majority of people with asthma can be controlled by environmental measures and asthma medications. A small percentage, around 5 % of all cases especially in adults, may have severe asthma and can be difficult to control with the traditional approach.
In recent years, there have been important advances in this field and there are now specific medications for people who do not respond to the regular treatment. These treatments are generally aimed at blocking certain substances that may specifically be responsible for severe asthma in selected patients. For the patient this means that asthma can now be controlled even in more severe forms of the disease.
Asthma is a chronic but controllable disease and persons with asthma can have a normal, active life with no restrictions. The important thing is to recognize and treat the disease.
