Abstract
Material and method For a period of 6 months we evaluated medical history data of 29 children with asthma divided into two groups 14 (6 girls, 8 boys) with severe asthma (SA) on high dose combined inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and 15 (6 girls, 9 boys) with moderate asthma, matched by age to serve as a control group. For all children we performed pulmonary function tests (PFT), nasal smears for eosinophil counts, drew blood for IgE against inhalation and food allergies antibodies detection and ACQ. IgE were detected with the predesigned kit EurolinePediatric.
