Asthma

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

See Creola bodies and Asthma

Bronchus

A bronchus (bronchi) is a passage or airway in the lower respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs.

See Creola bodies and Bronchus

Charcot–Leyden crystals

Charcot–Leyden crystals are microscopic crystals composed of eosinophil protein galectin-10 found in people who have allergic diseases such as asthma or parasitic infections such as parasitic pneumonia or ascariasis.

See Creola bodies and Charcot–Leyden crystals

Curschmann's spirals

Curschmann's spirals are a microscopic finding in the sputum of asthmatics. Creola bodies and Curschmann's spirals are asthma and Histopathology.

See Creola bodies and Curschmann's spirals

Cytokine

Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa) important in cell signaling.

See Creola bodies and Cytokine

Eosinophil

Eosinophils, sometimes called eosinophiles or, less commonly, acidophils, are a variety of white blood cells and one of the immune system components responsible for combating multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates. Along with mast cells and basophils, they also control mechanisms associated with allergy and asthma.

See Creola bodies and Eosinophil

Histopathology

Histopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos 'tissue', πάθος pathos 'suffering', and -λογία -logia 'study of') is the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.

See Creola bodies and Histopathology

Neutrophil

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes, heterophils or polymorphonuclear leukocytes) are a type of white blood cell.

See Creola bodies and Neutrophil

Sputum

Sputum is mucus that is coughed up from the lower airways (the trachea and bronchi).

See Creola bodies and Sputum
