Abstract
Asthma is one of the most frequent chronic diseases in pregnant women. With appropriate treatment, this condition can normally be well controlled during pregnancy. We describe a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy who suffered an attack of bronchospasm leading to status asthmaticus, which jeopardized the patient's life. We describe the implications and management of severe asthma in pregnant women.
