title: [Clinico-functional changes during inhalational corticotherapy (beclomethasone dipropionate) in children with severe forms of bronchial asthma].
abstract: In 14 children with corticoid-dependent severe forms of bronchial asthma, inhaled corticotherapy with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) was administered for 6 months. Pulmonary functional investigations were performed before, at 1 as well as 6 months from treatment start. Functional pulmonary tests included lung volume and flow measurements. The results showed a remarkable improvement of the mean percentage values of tested functional parameters, and even a significant percentage of normalization concerning the same parameters (excepting MEF50) after 6 months of treatment.
