Type I Hypersensitivity
Immediate Type Hypersensitivity Involves IgE antibody on mast cell
Type IV Hypersensitivity
Delayed Type Hypersensitivity Involves T cell mediated response Other immune system cells activated

Airway hyperresponsivenessan exaggerated bronchoconstrictor response to a wide variety of stimuliis a major, but not necessarily unique, feature of asthma
Defined by contractile responses to challenges with methacholine correlates with the clinical severity of asthma Influenced by inflammation, dysfunctional neuro-regulation, and structural changes
Treatment directed toward reducing inflammation can reduce airway hyperresponsiveness and improve asthma control.

Dominant physiological event leading to clinical symptoms Allergen-induced acute bronchoconstriction results from an IgE-dependent release of mediators from mast cells Non-IgE dependent bronchoconstriction can be caused by other stimuli including
Irritants Exercise Cold air Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

As the disease becomes more persistent and inflammation more progressive, other factors further limit airflow These include edema, inflammation, mucus hypersecretion and the formation of inspissated mucus plugs, as well as structural changes including hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the airway smooth muscle. These latter changes may not respond to usual treatment.

Edema
In some persons who have asthma, airflow limitation may be only partially reversible
The process of repair and its regulation are
likely to be key events in explaining the persistent nature of the disease and limitations to a therapeutic response Structural changes can include thickening of the sub-basement membrane, subepithelial fibrosis, airway smooth muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia, blood vessel proliferation and dilation, and mucous gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion

Taken together, these longitudinal epidemiological studies and clinical trials indicate that the progression of asthma, as measured by declines in lung function, varies in different age groups. Declines in lung function growth observed in children appear to occur by 6 years of age and occur predominantly in those children whose asthma symptoms started before 3 years of age. Children 512 years of age who have mild or moderate persistent asthma, on average, do not appear to experience declines in lung function through 1117 years of age, although a subset of these children experience progressive reductions in lung growth as measured by FEV1.

Early warning signs are changes that happen just before or at the very beginning of an asthma episode. These changes start before the well-known symptoms of asthma and are the earliest signs that a persons asthma is worsening. In general, these signs are not severe enough to stop a person from going about his or her daily activities. By recognizing these signs, you can stop an asthma episode or prevent one from getting worse.
