Differential diagnosis of asthma [Holgate S, Sewell J, Payne KD.Chapter 01. In: Crapo J, editor. Bone’s atlas of pulmonary and critical care medicine. Philadelphia: Current Medicine; 2005. ISBN: 1-57340-211-7] Caption adapted from original
Pathophysiology andEtiology
• An inammatory process of the airways that results in periodic, at least par­tially reversible airow obstruction.
• Bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
• Family history may be pertinent for asthma diagnosis.
• Many cells and cellular elements contribute to asthma, including:
• Neutrophils
• Mast cells
• Eosinophils
• Macrophages
• Activated T lymphocytes
• Epithelial cells
• Many asthma triggers exist, including:
• Environmental allergens: dust mites, molds, animal dander, cockroach
allergens, fungi, etc.
• Viral respiratory tract infections
• Hyperventilation
• Gastroesophageal reux disease
• Environmental pollutants, e.g., tobacco smoke
• Obesity
• Hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAID)

C. V. Pollack, Jr. et al.
Pathophysiology of asthma at steady state and during an exacerbation. The airways of asthmatic individuals are characterized by pathological changes, including thick­ened basement membrane, collagen deposition and hypertrophic smooth muscle, collectively called ‘airway remodeling’. Inammation is triggered by a variety of factors, including allergens and respiratory viruses. These factors also induce hyperreactive responses in the asthmatic airways, associated with mucus and cell debris released into the lumen, oedema and bronchoconstriction, leading to airway obstruction and related acute exacerbations. Although pathophysiological changes related to asthma are generally reversible, recovery may be partial.

Presentation

Typical/“Classic”

• Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, tachypnea, tachy­cardia, respiratory distress, altered mental status.
11 A st hma

Atypical

• Cough-variant asthma, nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, and atopic cough.
• Approximately 30 % of cough variant asthma that go untreated will result
in progression to asthma

Primary Differential Considerations

• Vocal cord dysfunction
• Allergic and environmental asthma
• Tracheal and bronchial lesions
• Foreign bodies
• Pulmonary migraine
• Congestive heart failure
• Diffuse panbronchiolitis
• Aortic arch anomalies
• Sinus disease
• Gastroesophageal reux
• Pulmonary embolism
• Cystic brosis
• Eosinophilia count >8 %, consider allergic bronchoplumonary aspergillosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, or eosinophilic pneumonia
189
History andPhysical Exam
• Categories of asthma severity are determined by the following factors:
• Reported symptoms over the previous 2– 4 weeks
• Current level of lung function: FEV1, FEV1 (FVC values)
• Number of exacerbations requiring oral glucocorticoids per year
• Asthma Severity categories:
• Intermittent
• Mild persistent
• Moderate persistent
• Severe persistent
• Family history of asthma is often common for diagnoses of asthma, allergies, eczema, and/or nasal polyps.
• Social history is frequently helpful to ascertain for environmental smoke exposure. As mentioned under Incidence/Epidemiology, lower socioeco­nomic status may be associated with more severe asthma.

Classication of asthma severity. Severity of asthma is classied into four groups according to symptoms and lung function measurements. This method of classication is important because therapy for asthma takes a stepwise approach according to the disease severity. Generally patients have poor perception of the severity of their asthma because they tend to adapt their lifestyle to accommo­date their symptoms. This in turn leads to poor control of the disease as well as poor quality of life. Classifying the disease in this stepwise fashion allows the targeting of therapy according to the severity of the disease. FEV1—forced expiratory volume in 1 second; PEFR—peak expiratory ow rate.

Findings That Conrm Diagnosis
• Arterial blood gases and pulse oximetry for severity and response to treatment.
• Eosinophil counts >4 %, absence is not exclusionary.
• Spirometry before and after short-acting bronchodilator.
• Bronchoprovocation test.
• High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Factors That Suggest Diagnosis

• Serum immunoglobulin E levels greater than 100IU frequently an allergic reaction, may not be asthma but other conditions.
• Elevated blood eosinophils.
• Non-specic IgE >150IU.
• Family history.
• Allergies.

Factors That Exclude Diagnosis

• Laboratory assessments and studies are usually used to exclude other diagnoses.
192
C. V. Pollack, Jr. et al.
Evaluation ofExacerbations
• Pulse oximetry: Inability to maintain pulse ox between above 92% suggests impending respiratory failure.
• PEFR or FEV
measurement: PEFR is effort-dependent but can be used to
1
compare severity of exacerbation and response to therapy to previous care episodes. FEV
is more accurate but is often logistically challenging to obtain

in the acute setting

Ancillary Studies

Laboratory

• ABG: progression of severity is typically hyperoxemia hypoxemia hypercarbia.
• Pulse oximetry.
• WBC: may be high due to stress release and/or to concomitant infection.

Electrocardiography

• Indicated in patients at risk for cardiac disease, dysrhythmias, myocardial ischemia.
• Transient ST-T wave changes in severe asthma.
• Tachycardia typical.

Imaging

• Chest x-ray is not necessary unless there is suspicion of pneumonia, pneumo­thorax or pneumomediastinum, foreign body aspiration, comorbid illness, diabetes, AIDS, renal failure, or cancer.

Other Studies

• Peak Flow
• Spirometry
• Lung function study
• Provocative testing
• Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco)
• Allergy testing

Special Populations

Age
Pediatrics
• Asthma is not an uncommon cause of chest pain in children.
• Severity classication in children is key.
• Even children with mild asthma can have severe exacerbations.
• Controller medications are based on the severity of the symptoms and
exacerbation.
193
• Nonspecic symptoms in infants or young children may have a history of recurrent bronchitis, bronchiolitis, or pneumonia.
• Review for family history or allergy and medical history of early injury to airway.
• Infants are vulnerable to respiratory failure.

Pediatric indications for asthma drugs [Chang C. Asthma in Children and Adolescents: A Comprehensive Approach to Diagnosis and Management. Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology. 2012 Aug;43(1-2):98–137.] Caption from
original
• The management of an acute asthmatic in a child is not substantially different than that utilized for the adult patient.
• Inhaled anticholinergics in children should be utilized as recue medications. Early administration of steroids is effective and recommended in all cases.
• The use of chest radiographs in pediatric asthma should be reserved for infants or children who present with wheezing for the rst time.
• Children are more likely to have cough-variant asthma, in which coughing is a more predominant presenting symptom than wheezing. The cough generally responds to bronchodilator therapy.
11 A st hma
Elderly
• The elderly have high prevalence of other obstructive lung disease. The elderly may have increased sensitivity to adverse effects of β
-agonists and
2
inhaled corticosteroids.
Pregnancy
• Treat asthma aggressively during pregnancy. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Working Group Report on Managing Asthma During Pregnancy: Recommendations for Pharmacologic Treatment (2004; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) can be found at the following link:

pregnancy-guidelines
Co-morbidities
• Rhinitis and rhinosinusitis management
• Allergic sensitivity and allergen exposure
• Psychological dysfunction
• Paradoxical vocal cord dysfunction
• Asymptomatic gastroesophageal reux
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Connective tissue disease
• Dermatologic conditions
• Immunologic and hematologic disease
• Metabolic disorders
• Obesity
• Obstructive lung disease
• Pregnancy
• Respiratory infection
195
Pitfalls inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• Altered mental status may signal respiratory failure.
• Correct use of medications such as inhalers and nebulizers.
• Monitor peak ows to assess severity and response to treatment.
196
C. V. Pollack, Jr. et al.

Mimics

• Sinusitis
• Myocardial ischemia
• Gastrointestinal reux
• Congestive heart failure
• Not all wheezing in infants and young children is asthma

Time-Dependent Interventions

• Immediate initiation of inhaled β2- adrenergic agonist.
• Nebulized treatment.
• Supplemental oxygen.
• Administration of subcutaneous epinephrine unless concerned about coro­nary artery disease or hypertension.
• Intubation in respiratory failure.
• Corticoteroids should be given early, as they require 4–6 hours to show benet.
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Treatment is based on asthma severity.
• Routine monitoring of symptoms and lung function.
• Patient education is essential.
• Recognize and control trigger factors (environmental factors).
• Controlling comorbid conditions that contribute to asthma severity.
• Pharmacologic therapy.
• Reduction of personal impairment and reduction of risk.
• Preventative approach with regularly scheduled check-ups and family/patient education.
• Awareness, recognition, and treatment of these atypical asthmas is important.
• Many base their management of asthma in children upon the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Expert panel guidelines (
www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-pro/guidelines/current/asthma-guidelines/ full-report).
