Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this study is to characterize, diagnose, evaluate, and treat severe childhood asthma. RECENT FINDINGS: Understanding the occurrence of the physiologic and clinical presentations of childhood severe asthma, the treatment and response may be predicted by biomarkers, but the patient's response is highly variable. The onset of severe asthma occurs early and is primarily predicted by severity of viral infection and coexistence of the atopic state.
