Health | A vaccine against allergic asthma perhaps soon?

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects approximately 4 million people in France and 340 million worldwide. Allergic asthma, which accounts for approximately 50% of asthma cases, is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes and respiratory discomfort caused by inhaling allergens.

In order to fight against allergic asthma, scientists from Inserm, CNRS and Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier University in the Infinity laboratory of the Institut Pasteur and the French company Neovacs have developed a new vaccine. . The findings were published in the scientific journal Allergy.
