PY - 2021 DA - 2021/01/06 TI - Asthma and COVID-19: a systematic review JO - Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology SP - 5 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Severe coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) presents with progressive dyspnea, which results from acute lung inflammatory edema leading to hypoxia. As with other infectious diseases that affect the respiratory tract, asthma has been cited as a potential risk factor for severe COVID-19. However, conflicting results have been published over the last few months and the putative association between these two diseases is still unproven.
