Diagnosis and Management of Exercise-Induced Asthma

  • Chapter
Bronchial Asthma

Abstract

“Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is the name used to describe the transitory increase in airways resistance which follows vigorous exercise in most patients with asthma” (1). Arateus of Cappodocia (2), in ancient times, recognized its existence but it was Jones who gave the first modern clinical description of EIA in children thirty years ago (3). EIA occurs in 70–80% of clinically recognized asthmatic subjects who perform exercise under standardized conditions in a laboratory (4–7). A lower prevalence has been found in field studies where the diagnosis of asthma has been made on the basis of answers to a questionnaire (8). In the general population the prevalence of EIA is reported as being between 4–12.2% (9–12).
