COVID-19 the global pandemic is caused by the virus known as SARS-CoVwith aaccumulating data pointing to a number of long-term repercussions impacting numerous people. Among these, respiratory consequences have received a lot of attention, particularly for the onset or worsening of asthma in those who have had COVID-19 infection. This abstract investigates the emergence of asthma as a possible post-COVID consequence, focusing on the causes, medical consequences, and potential risk factors. According to studies, SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause a variety of pulmonary problems, such as Acute Respiratory Syndrome (ARDS), persistent symptoms of breathing, and altered immunological responses. In some individuals, these respiratory consequences appear as new-onset asthma or aggravation of pre-existing asthma. The pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning this relationship are complicated.involving immunological dysregulation, airway inflammation, changes in the lung microbiota, and even Viral-induced damage to epithelial cells in the airway. Post-COVID asthma symptoms may include wheezing, feeling short of breathe, and enhanced hyperresponsiveness of the airways, necessitating rapid diagnosis and treatment. As the long-term consequences of COVID-19 unfold, healthcare practitioners must keep an eye out for new respiratory symptoms in patients recovering from COVID-19, particularly those with a history of respiratory disease or viral infection. This article includes a case study of a patient with asthmatic symptoms after recovering from COVID-19 infection, as well as a review of cases are documented in this manuscript.
