Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges in symptomology identification, diagnosis, management and follow-up in common respiratory diseases, and in particular asthma. Research is rapidly ongoing to try and understand how the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects individuals with asthma, as well as, how underlying asthma affects Covid-19 risk, symptomology and prognosis. In light of this unique medical challenge, clinicians are faced with case-by-case based decisions to implement or continue current asthma therapy. This review will discuss the current literature regarding asthma and COVID-19 based on best available evidence at this time (See box 1).
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
