Abstract: The fifth report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts that greenhouse gases will increase the global temperature as well as the frequency of extreme weather phenomena. An increasing body of evidence shows the occurrence of severe asthma epidemics during thunderstorms in the pollen season, in various geographical zones. The main hypotheses explaining association between thunderstorms and asthma claim that thunderstorms can concentrate pollen grains at ground level which may then rel… Show more

“…Mold sensitivity is usually associated with increased severity of asthma and hospital admission in adults, while in children is related to increased bronchial hyperactivity [39]. Asthma-related deaths are more frequent in young adults during spore peaking [26, 40]. Molds are an important causative agent of severe asthma as thus the term SAFS (Severe Asthma associated with Fugal Sensitization) has been coined to identify those patients with severe asthma, not-responsive to standard therapy [41].…”

“…Another relevant aspect of severe asthma with allergic sensitization is the relationship with thunderstorms (“thunderstorm asthma”). An increasing body of evidence confirmed the occurrence of asthma epidemics during thunderstorms in pollen seasons, in various geographical areas [26]. Patients without asthma symptoms, but affected by seasonal rhinitis can also experience severe asthma attacks, and there is a link between thunderstorm asthma and pollen sensitizations [27, 28].…”

“…An association between thunderstorms and asthma-related hospitalization has long been reported by several investigators, ascertaining the possibility of asthma outbreak as a result of osmotic rupture of the pollen and subsequent release of the respirable allergenic particles, popularly known as thunderstorm asthma [25]. In India, a sharp rise in asthma-related morbidity during the period of monsoon could be attributed to this phenomenon, although it has not been thoroughly investigated.…”

“…An example of how this effect can threaten respiratory health is “Thunderstorm related asthma” [17]. Actually, thunderstorms occurring during the pollen season have been observed to induce severe asthma attacks in pollen-allergic patients [1517].…”

“…An example of how this effect can threaten respiratory health is “Thunderstorm related asthma” [17]. Actually, thunderstorms occurring during the pollen season have been observed to induce severe asthma attacks in pollen-allergic patients [1517]. Associations between thunderstorms and asthma morbidity have been identified in multiple locations around the world [1719].…”
