Results: Two hundred and fifteen cases were recruited. Sixty cases (27.9%) experienced the appearance of the asthmatic symptom. The extent of the symptoms included 20 cases of chest discomfort (33.3%), 19 cases of cough (31.7%), and 21 cases of wheezing (35.0%). The triggering factors included vapor inhalation (32 cases, 53.3%), hydrostatic pressure on the thorax due to body immersion in the bathtub (26 cases, 43.3%), followed by sudden change of the air temperature (16 cases, 26.7%). Thirty-eight cases (17.7%) experienced the improvement of their active asthmatic symptoms by bathing. The vapor inhalation was the most common contributing factor (34 cases, 89.5%), followed by warming whole body (13 cases, 34.2%). There were no relationship between asthma severity and the appearance of the bathing-induced symptoms or improvement of active asthmatic symptoms by bathing.

Conclusion: The effects of bathing to asthmatic patients widely differed from patient to patient and its etiology includes several factors. For those who suffer from bathing-induced asthma symptoms, the preventive methods such as premedication of bronchodilators before bathing should be established.
