Asthma:Disease Pneumonia

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Definition

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs and airways that manifests itself by symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing and coughing. The airways of an asthmatic may tighten, which decreases the amount of air that reaches the lungs.
