    Bronchial asthma in acute exacerbation involves predisposing factors like gender, age, and family history increasing susceptibility. Exposure to precipitating factors such as viral infections, allergens, weather changes, smoking, or exercise can trigger an inflammatory response. This involves the release of immunoglobulin E and chemical mediators from mast cell degranulation, including leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and histamine, which cause the opening of intracellular junctions and eosinophil recruitment as part of the inflammatory process in the bronchial tubes.
