Link between viral infections and asthma

According to the Australian Asthma Handbook:
– Viral infections are the most common trigger for asthma flare-ups, including serious acute asthma requiring hospital admission
– influenza is spread by multiple routes, including airborne transmission of small and large droplets generated by talking and coughing, and transfer by fingers from contaminated items to the nose or eyes.
