On the issue of the curability of bronchial asthma

Abstract

While the prognosis of each individual attack of bronchial asthma is generally considered good and quite favorable (Staehelin is expressed as follows: "No one dies during an attack"), the prognosis of bronchial asthma in the sense of hope for a cure is quite poor. West, for example, says that the more frequent the attacks, the more severe they are, the longer they are, and the longer the disease itself lasts, the less hope there is for a cure. The same opinion is expressed by Buckmeister, who considers the cure of bronchial asthma, especially in adults, a rather rare phenomenon.
