ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTIREFLUX THERAPY FOR BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN COMBINATION REFLUX ESOPHAGITIS IN CHILDREN
Abstract
It was examined 26 children suffering from bronchial asthma (BA) with gastroesohageal reflux (GER), gastrointestinal disturbance (15 patients have stomach ulcer, duodenum’s problems, gastritis) and isolated BA. Patients diagnosed with GER were treated by anti-refluxed therapy. As a result it was found out among the patients treated with anti-refluxed therapy the dose of inhalation glucocorticoid and broncholytic medications decreased. This suggests that ER has pathogen tic role in the development of BA’s clinical symptoms.
