Resumen
El asma grave es una enfermedad compleja, que requiere un enfoque y diagnóstico diferencial ordenado e identificación de endotipos para el correcto abordaje y tratamiento. El tratamiento farmacológico cuenta cada vez con más moléculas a disposición del personal médico para el control efectivo de los síntomas. Esta revisión muestra una síntesis de la bibliografía actual acerca del diagnóstico, fisiopatología y tratamiento del asma grave, mediante la lectura crítica previa de la evidencia científica en buscadores como Medline, Scopus y Embase.
Palabras clave: Asma bronquial; Alergia e inmunología; Fármacos biológicos.
