Asthma and bronchitis are two highly common diseases that
are managed daily by primary care clinicians. Both diseases
share the key symptoms of coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea.
While asthma is generally classified as allergic or non-allergic,
bronchitis is classified as acute or chronic. This section
examines these conditions with an overview
of each disease, their prevalence and impact, and the role
of specific IgE blood testing in helping to identify symptom
triggers and aid management of lower respiratory diseases (LRDs).
