Estratto

In seguito alla provocazione con vari stimoli, i bronchi possono rispondere con una ostruzione delle vie aeree. Gli stimoli possono essere specifici o non specifici. Gli stimoli che inducono una risposta immonologica, quale la risposta IgE-mediata evocata dagli allergeni (atopia), sono definiti “stimoli specifici”. Fra questi sono state individuate diverse sostanze con proprietà antigeniche, caratteristiche dell’asma atopico: polveri di casa, peli e forfora di animali (cane gatto, coniglio, ecc.), pollini di piante (graminacee, alberi, ecc.) e spore di muffe.
