Updates on Lung Function, Respiratory and Asthma Disease in Children

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue dedicated to respiratory diseases, in particular asthma and lung function in children.

The exponential increase in the prevalence of asthma and even severe asthma in children has prompted clinical activity and research focused on the study and monitoring of respiratory disease and function in children. The most recent challenge in this field is SARS-CoV2 infection and the monitoring of its possible long-term consequences in children.

Considering the success and popularity of the Special Issue "Lung Function, Respiratory and Asthma Disease in Children" previously published in the journal Children (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/children/special_issues/lung_function_respiratory_asthma_children), we are releasing a follow-up Special Issue with the aim of gathering original research papers and review articles related to respiratory diseases, asthma and lung function in children. We also welcome articles that discuss important advancements and novel interventions in SARS-CoV2 infection and its influence on lung function in children.
