Abstract
Asthma is a common, potentially serious, even life-threatening, chronic medical condition seen amongst nearly all groups of patients, regardless of ethnicity and socioeconomic circumstances. This article addresses the group of pregnant women with symptomatic asthma as well as those whose asthma is asymptomatic as a result of good control. The incidence, the pathophysiologic changes of pregnancy, and the interplay between these changes and asthma are reviewed in this article. The classification of these patients and appropriate management strategies are discussed.
