Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in children and adults. Cocaine is associated with asthma exacerbations. In Denmark, the prevalence of cocaine use has been increasing in recent years. This is a case report of a 47-year-old male with acute asthma exacerbation after cocaine use. Cocaine use is probably an underestimated reason for acute asthma exacerbations.
