Progress on the relationship between intestinal flora and asthma in children / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Asthma is one of the most common pulmonary chronic inflammatory diseases threatening public health.It is a heterogeneous disease driven by gene-environment interaction.The proposition of "hygiene hypothesis" and "microbial hypothesis" has gradually drawn attention to the close relationship between microorganisms and asthma.In recent years, studies on intestinal flora emerge endlessly.Studies have shown that intestinal flora is not only closely related to digestion, immunity, endocrine, circulation, neuropsychiatric system, but also to asthma.This paper reviews the possible relationship between intestinal flora and asthma in children from its physiological function, so as to explore the prevention and treatment strategy of asthma in the future.
