title: [Asthma bronchial among children and youth exposed to tobacco smoke].
abstract: Purpose of this work was to judge progress of diagnosed bronchial asthma among children and youth that are exposed on tobacco smoke in aspect of number of exacerbation of disease, therapy (doses of corticosteroids) and number of hospitalizations. There were two groups of patients with bronchial asthma under examination, first one were children and youth that are exposed on tobacco smoke, and the other group of children and youth that are not exposed on tobacco smoke. We discovered statistically significant difference in number of exacerbation of disease among those two groups, also bigger therapeutic and prophylactic doses of inhaled steroids during treatment, and much more often hospitalizations among children and youth that are exposed on tobacco smoke.
