Severe asthma is defined by the high treatment requirements to partly or fully control the clinical manifestations of disease. It remains a problem worldwide with a large burden for individuals and health services. The key to improving targeted treatments, reducing disease burden and improving patient outcomes is a better understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of severe disease. The heterogeneity, complexity and difficulties in undertaking clinical studies in severe asthma remain challenges to achieving better understanding and better outcomes. In this review, we focus on the structural, mechanical and inflammatory abnormalities that are relevant in severe asthma.
