“…This figure shows that less severe asthma is associated with a higher chance of remission later in life. Reproduced, with permission, from Tai et al, 2014. been linked to asthma remission as well (Schwerk, Ballmann, & Hansen, 2008;Wirtz, Kroegel, Caffier, & Bittner, 2005), still this controversial intervention followed by immunosuppression is not discussed in this review.…”

“…Potential candidates are patients with fixed obstruction secondary to remodeling; however, recent biological therapies have changed the natural history of functional impairment. In fact, the recent literature on the topic is poor and consists of case reports or limited asthma patient series [107][108][109]. Interestingly, it has been reported that non-asthmatic recipients of asthmatic lungs may develop asthma after transplantation.…”

Severe asthma is an important topic in respiratory diseases, due to its high impact on morbidity and mortality as well as on health-care resources. The many challenges that still exist in the management of the most difficult-to-treat forms of the disease, and the acknowledgement of the existence of unexplored areas in the pathophysiological mechanisms and the therapeutic targets represent an opportunity to gather experts in the field with the immediate goals to summarize current understanding about the natural history of severe asthma and to identify gaps in knowledge and research opportunities, with the aim to contribute to improved medical care and health outcomes. This article is a consensus document from the “International Course on Severe Asthma” that took place in Palermo, Italy, on May 10–11, 2019. Emerging topics in severe asthma were addressed and discussed among experts, with special focus on patient’s needs and research opportunities, with the aim to highlight the unanswered questions in the diagnostic process and therapeutic approach.
