Abstract
traditionally, bronchial asthma (Ba) was considered as a disease of large and medium bronchi, but recently
obtained convincing evidence that inflammation in asthma captures the distal parts of the lower respiratory tract.
several studies have proved that the peripheral respiratory ways, including the lung tissue itself, are the principal
place of airflow obstruction in patients with asthma. there are currently actively being developed devices for
improving the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs on the periphery of the lung, to improve asthma control.
