A descriptive and cross-sectional, cases and controls non paired study of 120 patients with persistent asthma was carried out. They were assisted in the Allergology Service of the Specialties Polyclinic, belonging to "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2014 to the same period in 2015, aimed at describing the clinical characteristics and causes of this disease. The patients were selected by means of simple random sampling and they were distributed into 2 groups: one of 60 members with severe asthma (study group) and the other with the same number with light asthma (control group). In the case material there was a prevalence of those affected with moderate-severe persistent asthma from the female sex and the 40 years age group and over, while the unspecific irritant and the respiratory infections were the predisposing factors that occurred with more frequency. The association with nasosinopathies and the abrupt changes of temperature were notable
