Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory tract, which is formed by the action of endogenous factors and environmental influences. At the same time, T-helpers of the second type play a major role in the development of bronchial asthma, causing hyperreactivity and inflammation of the respiratory tract. However, the data that bronchial asthma in most cases is an allergic, eosinophilic, T-helper-mediated disease of the second type is insufficient to establish complete control over the course of disease. This is probably due to the fact that endogenous factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, knowledge of which is currently limited. Toll-like receptors are an established element of the development of bronchial asthma. Their insufficient function or, conversely, the launch of an excessive immune response is associated with the initiation of the disease or its exacerbations. Expanding the understanding of Toll-like receptors leads not only to a more detailed understanding of the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma, but also to the application of this knowledge in practice.
