Inclusion Criteria: * • All patients with confirmed diagnosis of asthma (defined as those with a consistent history and prior documented evidence of variable airflow obstruction, with evidence of an increase in FEV1 greater than 12% or 400 mL following bronchodilator or bronchial hyperresponsiveness on bronchial provocation testing, when stable) 12 * Able to sign written informed consent form to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * • Patients currently with acute exacerbation of asthma by GINA guideline. (For subjects with asthma exacerbation, they can join the study after 6 weeks post recovery from the exacerbation.) * Patients with respiratory diseases that can show similar symptoms to chronic airway diseases such as bronchiectasis, tuberculosis(TB)-destroyed lung parenchyma, endobronchial TB, and lung cancer, or those who have history of these diseases based on physician's judgment. * Patients currently diagnosed with pneumonia and acute bronchitis. For control subject: the inclusion will be having no clinical diagnosis of asthma.
