[Difficulties in asthma therapy].
Asthma is the most frequent chronic disease in childhood with rising prevalance worldwide. Early antiinflammatory therapy can prevent irreversible damage to the lung. Effective drugs such as nedrocromil, DNCG, leukotrienes antagonists or inhaled corticosteroids are available and recommended. But they are not used as assigned. Guidelines may help to find the right medication but they have to be adapted to the individual and his situation.
