title: [Bronchial asthma and pregnancy].
abstract: The review of the data available in the literature dedicated to the problems of the diagnosis, clinical picture, and treatment of bronchial asthma (BA) in females during pregnancy. BA is shown to belong to the diseases whose pattern changes during pregnancy and despite that there are a great deal of papers on the above problem, the genesis of these changes has not been determined. Asthmatic attacks during gestation exert a significant negative impact on the development of pregnancy and the fetus; its main cause is hypoxia; however, there is no unambiguous evidence for this; today there are available several hypotheses that are presented in this paper. The data available in the literature show that most investigators consider it necessary to perform medical treatment for these disease; however, its nature has not been defined yet.
