Description
Drs. Griffiths and Chase explain type 2–high asthma as a multisystem inflammatory disease that often coexists with conditions like allergic rhinitis, sinus disease with polyps, eczema, food allergies, and eosinophilic esophagitis. They emphasize the importance of recognizing type 2–high patterns through history and biomarkers; they also discuss the roles of multidisciplinary care, optimized inhaler use, reduced steroid exposure, and targeted biologic therapy when asthma remains uncontrolled.
