Is asthma an immune disorder?


Is asthma an immune disorder? The lowdown. Asthma is an inflammatory condition, not an autoimmune disease, although there are some indications that some forms of asthma may have an autoimmune component. Asthma is caused mainly by your immune system overreacting, as happens with an allergic reaction.


What is signs of a weak immune system?

  • Frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, ear infections, meningitis or skin infections.
  • Inflammation and infection of internal organs.
  • Blood disorders, such as low platelet count or anemia.
  • Digestive problems, such as cramping, loss of appetite, nausea and diarrhea.
