title: Prevention of bronchial hyperreactivity in children.
abstract: Hyperresponsiveness of the bronchi is defined as an excessive reaction of bronchial mucosa to irritants that do no harm to a healthy mucosa. Measures to prevent bronchial hyperreactivity in children with asthma and other diseases remain rather ineffective at present. Though progress has been made in some areas.
