Association of bronchial asthma and vitamin D content in children depending on the amount of basic therapy.

Abstract

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a fairly common chronic inflammatory disease in children with nonspecific airway hypersensitivity accompanied by clinical signs of breathing difficulties and airflow limitation. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids (IGCS) are considered to be the most effective in the treatment of asthma, with less frequent and less severe side effects than oral corticosteroids, but safety concerns with high doses of IGCS still remain. The aim of the study. To determine changes in serum vitamin D concentration in children with asthma depending on the amount of basic IGCS therapy.
