Asthma: confusion in diagnosis, recognising comorbidities and understanding pathophysiological connections
Symposium Chairs: K. Antoniou (Heraklion, Greece), A. Bossios (Stockholm, Sweden)
Aims: to inform clinicians and researchers about the latest updates in significant asthma comorbidities and pathologies that mimic asthma and contribute to difficulties with diagnosis and treatment; to describe in particular conditions that mimic asthma, such as vocal cord dysfunction and dysfunctional breathing, and significant comorbidities, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, vasculitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA); to assess the importance of small airways in asthma.
