Abstract
Bronchial asthma remains a pressing public health issue due to its high prevalence, increasing incidence, and serious eco- nomic burden. Timely diagnosis, identifiation of predictors of the disease development, as well as assessment of treatment effectiveness are key factors for early detection, prevention of asthma progression, reduction of complication risk, and the development of personalized therapy, improving patients’ quality of life. We demonstrated the prospects and practical significance of using a microcirculation imaging method for disease diagnosis, as well as for assessing the effectiveness of biological therapy (dupilumab) in a patient with severe bronchial asthma.
