    Bronchial asthma is an inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent attacks of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Diagnosis involves objective examination finding of tachypnea, prolonged expiration, wheezing and dry rales. Sputum analysis may show eosinophils, mucus, and enzymes from small bronchi and eosinophils. Blood tests often show mild leukocytosis and eosinophilia while spirometry typically reveals decreased lung function and increased daily variability.
