Not a feature of bronchial asthma:
Ref: Robbin E-book, P 502-504* Increased numbers of goblet cells (goblet cell hyperplasia) is part of airway remodelling in asthma.* The remodelling also includes epithelial proliferation, thickening of the reticular basement membrane, increased bronchial vascularity and hypertrophy of smooth muscle and submucosal glands.* Thickening of bronchial wall is seen in bronchiectasis.
