Abstract

Asthma is a disease that has been described since the times of Hammurabi. However, it is only since the 1960s that effective therapeutic strategies have been available. Pathogenic mechanisms underlying the disease have been deeply studied, contributing to creating a “patient-specific asthma” definition. Biological drugs have been approved over the last twenty years, improving disease management in patients with severe asthma via a “precision medicine-driven approach”. This article aims to describe the evolution of scientific knowledge in childhood asthma, focusing on the most recent biological therapies and their indications for patients with severe asthma.
