Her main complaints are fatigue, weight loss and joint stiffness over the past year. She was previously diagnosed with asthma (due to persistent wheeze since adolescence), autoimmune thyroiditis and a psoriasis/eczema overlap. Her family history is notable for the death of a sibling in early childhood from pneumonia.en© Allergy Society of South Africa.Respiratory tract infectionsEczemaAsthmaDeathArticle
