Link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and childhood asthma: Insights from a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, is a prevalent childhood chronic disease with a substantial global health burden. The complex etiology and pathogenesis of asthma involve genetic and environmental factors, posing challenges in diagnosis, severity prediction, and therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have highlighted the significant role of the gut microbiota and its interaction with the immune system in the development of asthma. Dysbiosis, an imbalance in microbial composition, has been associated with respiratory diseases through the gut-lung axis. This axis is an interaction between the gut and lungs, allowing microbial metabolites to influence the host immune system. This systematic review examines the association between gut microbiota composition, measured usi
