Asthmology
Definition
A specialized branch of pulmonology and allergology that deals exclusively with the theoretical study, clinical diagnosis, pathogenic mechanisms, treatment, and prevention of bronchial asthma and correlated asthma-like syndromes. Although often integrated into broader respiratory medical disciplines, it represents an advanced research field focused on airway immunology and the development of targeted biological therapies.
