A fost efectuat un studiu complex clinico-instrumental şi de laborator care a inclus 30 de copii diagnosticaţi cu astm bronşic conform criteriilor GINA, repartizaţi în două subloturi similare după număr şi gradul de severitate al astmului bronşic. Lotul de bază l-au constituit copiii cu astm bronşic în interconexiune cu boala de refl ux gastro-esofagian confi rmată prin examenul endoscopic al tractului digestiv superior, lotul de control format din pacienţi cu astm bronşic solitar. Studierea impactului refl uxului gastro-esofagian în evoluţia astmului bronşic s-a efectuat prin prezenţa dereglărilor respiratorii funcţionale obstructive mai exprimate la aceşti copii.

The study included 30 children with bronchial asthma. Both groups (control and study) were similar in number of patients and severity of asthma. The diagnosis was established in bases of GINA criterions and clinical-paraclinical examinations. Study group included patients with bronchial asthma and GERD (confi rmed by endoscopic examine of upper digestive system). In control group were patients with bronchial asthma without GERD. Respiratory function were evaluated by spirometric examine. Obstructive respiratory disorders were more important in children with bronchial asthma and GERD association.
