Modern Aspects of Risk Factors for the Formation of Bronchial Asthma in Children

Abstract

The purpose of our study was to study the nature of clinical manifestations and risk factors for the development of bronchial asthma (BA) in children. We examined 120 children aged 5 to 15 years with asthma who were on inpatient treatment in the department of pulmonology and allergology. With moderate and severe asthma, there was a longer manifestation of shortness of breath, oral wheezing, wet cough and wet wheezing in the lungs, emphysematous lung enlargement on both sides with horizontal standing of the ribs. In the presence of severe bronchospasm, the symptoms of intoxication and respiratory failure were more pronounced, which is manifested by long-term clinical signs of the disease. Among the main risk factors for the development of AD, hereditary burden, peculiarities of maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation, early transfer of the child to mixed and artificial feeding, unfavorable course of the peri–, intranatal periods and comorbid background can be distinguished.
