Bronchial obstruction in children often occurs with a pronounced allergic reaction. Depending on the severity, mild, moderate and severe asthma are distinguished. According to the nature of the course, bronchial asthma is divided into asthmatic bronchitis, asthmatic asthma and asthmatic status. Bronchial asthma can be allergic and non-allergic. In Russia, about 400 thousand patients have been registered among children with bronchial asthma, however, according to a WHO study, the number of cases of this disease has increased by 10% in recent years. At the same time, there is a progressive obstruction of the bronchi caused by hypersensitivity to certain stimuli. This ailment is most often found in children, but it can also occur in adults. To stop asthma attacks, doctors often prescribe medications such as bronchodilators.

Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of asthma currently accounts for 0.8% of the population of all ages worldwide, which makes it the most common form of allergy [1, 2]. Especially often, school-age children are susceptible to bronchial asthma, which explains the relevance of studying this topic. <br />Goal. To study the causes of the development of bronchial asthma in school-age children (from 6 to 17 years), to identify the main causes of the disease, to identify family history, concomitant complications, to establish whether or not allergo-tests were conducted. <br />Materials and methods. The study was based on data from discharge epicrisis of children with diagnosed bronchial asthma who were treated at the Regional Children's Clinical Hospital in Kursk. We analyzed 100 case histories. Data analysis was carried out using the STATISTICA program. Based on the synthesis and analysis of the data obtained, conclusions were drawn.<br />Results. The study analyzed: the ratio of boys and girls with this pathology, the age of diagnosis, whether or not the child was breastfed, the main concomitant diseases, the degree and stage of bronchial asthma, family history of allergy were established. <br />In the sex ratio, there is a tendency that boys (58%) suffer from bronchial asthma more often than girls (42%). The ratio of the age of establishment of bronchial asthma: from 3-5 years (54%), from 1 to 2 years 14%, from 6 to 17 32%. 87% of children were breastfed, 13% were artificially fed. The main accompanying diseases were: 5% - allergic rhinorrhea and urticaria, 6% - food allergy and allergic rhinitis, 19% - atopic dermatitis and food allergy, 29% - atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis, 36% - allergic rhinitis, 5% - other diseases. Among the studied, the degree of bronchial asthma was distributed: mild (46%), moderate (35%), severe (19%). Among the closest relatives, allergic diseases were found: 47% - bronchial asthma, 33% - no allergic diseases, 8% - pollinosis, 3 drug allergies, 9% - not sure if they have allergic diseases. Scarification tests were carried out in 67% of patients with bronchial asthma. <br />Conclusions. From all of the above, it can be concluded that boys suffer from bronchial asthma most often in 58% of cases. Most of the children were breastfed (87%). The most common concomitant diseases were allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. The revealed tendency to familial predisposition to bronchial asthma among the studied children (47%). The majority of the studied children have a mild degree of bronchial asthma (46%). The age of diagnosis of bronchial asthma in most cases occurred at the age of 3-5 years (54%). Most parents tested their children for sensitivity to allergens - in 67% of cases.</p>1.Ермакова, О.А. Современные представления о бронхиальной астме среди детей и подростков / О.А.
