To detect allergic bronchial asthma to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and its frequency in a group of asthmatics, a study was carried out in 800 asthmatic patients and 345 healthy subjects from seven different areas of the country. We considered only allergic bronchial asthma to Dermatophagoides pt. without taking into consideration other allergens. Patients with chronic bronchopathy were not included in the study. The average frequency of disease in the group investigated was of 32 per cent. Considering the high frequency of this form of allergic bronchial asthma, specialists should grant a special attention to the early detection and treatment of this disease.

Background: Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a specific type of asthma characterized by chronic cough as the sole or predominant symptom. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, yet bronchial provocation test is not always feasible in clinical settings. To identify independent predictors of CVA diagnosis, we developed a nomogram for predicting CVA.

Silibinin, a major compound of silymarin, has been reported to alleviate respiratory diseases including acute lung injury, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis through its antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, the specific mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects, particularly in allergic asthma, are not fully understood. With the increasing prevalence and impact of allergic asthma, there is a need to elucidate the exact underlying mechanisms of its potential treatment effects.
