What is wrong?
Type of asthma:
Child-Onset Asthma:
Asthma that begins during childhood is called child-onset asthma. This
type of asthma happens because a child becomes sensitized to
common allergens in the environment - most likely due to genetic
reasons. The child is atopic - a genetically determined state of
hypersensitivity to environmental allergens.
Adult-Onset Asthma:
This term is used when a person develops asthma after reaching 20
years of age. Adult-onset asthma affects women more than men, and it
is also much less common than child-onset asthma.
Exposure to a particle or chemical in certain plastics, metals,
medications, or wood dust can also be a cause of adult-onset asthma.
