Asthma Complexities At A Glance

Is that asthma?

People suffering from episodes of breathing difficulty may, or may not, have asthma.

Even someone who has been diagnosed with asthma may not have typical symptoms. Some symptoms of asthma are not consistent and others can vary from time to time in an individual. To complicate matters, some medical conditions can mimic asthma and make the correct diagnosis of asthma more difficult.

Boys and Women Most Often Hospitalizated For Asthma

webmaster — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:44:00 -0500

A recent study of asthma patients, 606 pediatric patients ages two to 17, and 680 adult patients ages 18 to 54 showed that, while males are more often hospitalized as children, females are hospitalized more often as adults. Only forty percent of pediatric asthma patients admitted to the hospital for treatment of asthma symptoms were girls while sixty-eight percent were adult women. Gender disparities in adults may be due to more women having a primary care provider than men, but researchers also recorded differences in the severity of asthma in adults but not in children.
