Abstract: Seasonal allergic asthma prevalence has been increasing over the last decades and is one of global health concerns now. Pollen is one of the main reasons to cause seasonal allergic asthma and influenced by multiple risk factors. Thunderstorm-related asthma is a typical type of seasonal allergic asthma that thunderstorms occurring can induce severe asthma attacks during pollen season. The diagnosis of seasonal allergic asthma relies on precise medical history, skin prick tests (SPT) and specific IgE detection. Component resolved diagnosis is greatly significant in determining the complex situation. Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only disease-modifying therapy that can change the natural course from seasonal allergic rhinitis to seasonal allergic asthma.
