Asthma is not an infection but a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing. It is triggered by various factors, including allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, and environmental pollutants, rather than being caused by a pathogen like a virus or bacteria. When exposed to triggers, the immune system reacts, causing bronchoconstriction and increased mucus production, which results in asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Management typically involves avoiding triggers and using medications to control inflammation and open the airways.

Asthma is not an infectious disease and so does not infect any cells or tissue. Asthma is a condition in which the airways leading to the gas-exchange sacks (alveolae) in the lungs become irritated and swollen, thus creating resistance to air flow and making breathing more difficult. Many different situations can cause this.
