A new survey reveals that asthma patients are facing challenges in managing their condition, with many also dealing with other health issues. The Asthma Society of Ireland is advocating for the establishment of a severe asthma registry to better understand the prevalence of severe asthma in the country. Meanwhile, research on a potential new asthma treatment, benralizumab, shows promising results in treating severe asthma and COPD. The drug was found to be more effective than conventional steroid tablets in improving respiratory symptoms and quality of life for patients. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of this new treatment.
