Abstract
Introduction: Asthma is the most common chronic disease of children. It is a leading cause of emergency room visits, hospitalization and school absenteeism. Asthma is a real public health problem. The prevalence of this disease is increasing worldwide.
Patients and method: We had conducted a prospective study, among children with asthma over a period of one year, from January 2018 to December 2018.
Results: We counted 105 asthmatic patients for a total of 14344 consultations, or a frequency of 0,73%. The sex ratio was 1,9, the age group 2-5 years was the most frequent, (52%), the age of the first attack was generally between 1 and 2 years, ( 75,24%). We observed that almost 22% of the attacks occurred in December (21,90%). Smoke and humidity were the main triggers. All the patients had benefited from nebulization with B 2 mimetics.
Conclusion: Education of asthmatic children, their families and the establishment of standard management protocols could significantly reduce asthma-related morbidity in our countries.
