Abstract
Eosinophilic asthma is a common phenotype of severe asthma, occurring in at least half of patients. In recent years, there have been significant changes in the approaches to the treatment of severe bronchial asthma and, above all, eosinophilic asthma. The article discusses the role of eosinophils in the pathogenesis of severe asthma, the detection of the phenotype of severe eosinophilic asthma, and modern approaches to targeting severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype using biological agents. A special emphasis is placed on preparations of monoclonal antibodies to interleukin-5, in particular, mepolizumab, recently approved for clinical use in our country.
