Childhood asthma
Childhood asthma. Artwork of a childs respiratory system showing the mucus (yellow) and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles) in paediatric asthma. The mucus is revealed inside the bronchioles by sectioning the right lung (lower centre). An inset (lower right) shows the severe restriction of the air supply that results. In asthma, a trigger such as an allergen causes bronchiole narrowing. It is this that causes the inflammation and production of mucus. This mucus production is also seen in bronchitis, where inflammation usually arises from infection. Treatment is with bronchodilator drugs. Asthma is a chronic disease that usually arises in childhood and improves as the patient matures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate details of childhood asthma, showcasing the respiratory system of a child. The print highlights the detrimental effects of this condition, with mucus (depicted in yellow) and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles) clearly visible. By sectioning the right lung at its lower center, we are able to witness the presence of mucus inside the bronchioles, which severely restricts the air supply. A closer look at an inset reveals just how dire this restriction can be for those suffering from asthma. Triggered by allergens, such as dust or pollen, bronchiole narrowing occurs and leads to inflammation and excessive mucus production. This phenomenon is also observed in cases of bronchitis when infection causes inflammation. Fortunately, treatment options exist in the form of bronchodilator drugs that help alleviate symptoms by opening up constricted airways. It is important to note that while childhood asthma is a chronic disease typically diagnosed during early years, it tends to improve as patients mature. Through this thought-provoking illustration created by Science Photo Library, viewers gain insight into both the physical manifestations and potential complications associated with childhood asthma. This image serves as a reminder of how crucial proper medical care and attention are for children affected by respiratory disorders like asthma.
