Slow-Healing Sores and Frequent Infections

Inflammation: Mast cells, eosinophils, and Th2 immune cells release histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines that swell the airway tissue.
Bronchoconstriction: The smooth muscles surrounding the airways contract sharply, narrowing airflow passages.
Mucus overproduction: Chronic inflammation triggers excess mucus that further blocks breathing.

Description

Wounds that heal slowly and increased susceptibility to infections due to impaired immune function and poor circulation from high blood sugar
