Among the commonest disease all over the world, Bronchial asthma is one of them with gradually increasing prevalence in developing countries like Bangladesh. Around 300 million people in the world currently have asthma and an additional 100 million persons will be diagnosed by 2025. This controllable disease can cause fatalities, by timely institution of appropriate drugs in appropriate mode. Most of which are preventable. Appropriate knowledge and orientation is important to know triggering factors, clinical presentation and some diagnostic parameters for proper management of bronchial asthma. The present study is aimed to evaluate the prevalence of bronchial asthma in female versus male population. A cross-sectional descriptive study is carried in Brahman Medical College Hospital from 1st July, 2017 to 31st December, 2017. One hundred asthmatic patients with typical symptoms of bronchial asthma were included in this study. This study revealed the prevalence of bronchial asthma more in Female than Male (Male: Female=1:1.43). Symptoms were. Breathlessness, (100%), wheeze (100%), cough and chest tightness. From pretreatment to post treatment PEFR and FEV1 are increased mean +SD (18.64+2.94) % and (17.30+1.83) %. Here both PEFR and FEV1 are reversible in all asthmatic patients. The present study found that most of the asthmatics are female of 21-30 years old, mostly associated with atopy and had commonly exposure to cold and house dust as triggering factors, would be helpful to treat conservatively with good response. But this type of morbidity can be reduced by appropriate control of triggers.
