A combination of factors, including Western European eating habits, physical inactivity and genetic predisposition, lead to a dramatic increase in adipose tissue mass. A special place is occupied by abdominal obesity, in which there is an accumulation of adipose tissue in the mesentery of the small intestine and the omentum. ⋯ The most important role of metabolically active fat in the pathogenesis of many respiratory diseases is known, including bronchial asthma, obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension. This paper presents an overview of current data on immunological, pathophysiological and clinical features of the phenotype of the combination of respiratory diseases with overweight and obesity.

This article presents the experience of successful use of the drug dupilumab in a patient with severe atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma. The effectiveness of biological therapy with dupilumab 300 mg subcutaneously for 52 weeks of T-2 associated diseases, including a combination of severe atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, uncontrolled course based on the case history of patient Ts., born in 2006 with the diagnosis "Main: atopic dermatitis, common form, severe course. Concomitant diagnosis: bronchial asthma, persistent course, uncontrolled, moderate severity". ⋯ With bronchial asthma, a reduction in exacerbations, normalization of respiratory function indicators, complete control of the disease has been achieved. The targeted biological drug dupilumab has a targeted effect on the key links in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma and reduces the burden of severe diseases. Therefore, the use of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma contributes to achieving disease control and improving the patient's quality of life.
