The latest instalment of ERS Vision is on the topic of paediatric asthma. It looks specifically at: challenges in the diagnosis of children with asthma; asthma control and the reduction of exacerbations; environmental influences; treating severe asthma in children with new therapies; and the role of exercise in the management of childhood asthma.

The topic experts featured in this ERS Vision video are Associate Professor Mariëlle Pijnenburg (Erasmus MC – Sophia Children’s Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands); Professor Alexander Moeller (University Children’s Hospital Zuerich, Zurich, Switzerland); and Associate Professor Katy Pike (UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London, UK).

A young asthma patient also discusses her symptoms and how the condition affects her day-to-day life.
