Das Asthma bronchiale (von altgriechisch ἆσθμα āsthma, deutsch ‚Atemnot; schweres, kurzes Atemholen, Beklemmung‘), oder Bronchialasthma, oft auch nur Asthma genannt, ist eine chronische, entzündliche Erkrankung der Atemwege mit dauerhaft bestehender Überempfindlichkeit. Bei entsprechend veranlagten Personen (mit überempfindlichem Bronchialsystem) führt die Entzündung zu anfallsweiser Atemnot infolge einer akuten Verengung der Atemwege – einer sogenannten Bronchialobstruktion (Definition des International consensus report on diagnosis and treatment of asthma). Diese Atemwegsverengung wird durch vermehrte Sekretion von Schleim, Verkrampfung der Bronchialmuskulatur und Bildung von Ödemen der Bronchialschleimhaut verursacht, sie ist durch Behandlung rückbildungsfähig (reversibel). Eine Vielzahl von Reizen verursacht die Zunahme der Empfindlichkeit der Atemwege (bronchiale Hyperreaktivität oder auch bronchiale Hyperreagibilität) und die damit verbundene Entzündung. 5 % der Erwachsenen und 7 bis 10 % der Kinder leiden an Asthma bronchiale.
