title: [Vitamin PP and C allowances and their correction in the treatment of bronchial asthma patients].
abstract: Providing with vitamins PP and C was studied in 124 patients with bronchial asthma (59 males and 65 females). Deficiency of the vitamins was recorded in the majority of the patients during the disease exacerbation, especially in the winter-spring period of the year. Decreased providing with nicotinic acid was noted in 83%, with ascorbic acid in 96.8% of the patients. The treatment without vitamins did not lead to normalization of providing with vitamins. Applying vitamin loadings lasting many days, rational doses of vitamins PP and C were determined for the correction of providing patients with these vitamins in the period of bronchial asthma exacerbation. Depending on the severity of their state the patients should be given 90-110 mg of nicotinic acid and 275-300 mg of ascorbic acid/day, during the course of the treatment. Inclusion of rational doses of vitamins PP and C intensifies the therapy effectiveness and reduces the terms of the inpatient treatment.
