BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN CHILDREN

Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract in children. The disease is characterized by episodes of bronchial obstruction, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Despite significant progress in diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, bronchial asthma remains a major issue in pediatrics due to the high risk of complications and a substantial reduction in patients’ quality of life. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics of bronchial asthma in children, diagnostic and treatment methods, as well as to assess risk factors contributing to disease exacerbations.
