Abstract

At the beginning of the pandemic, somatic pathology, including asthma, was considered a risk factor for severe coronavirus infection. We conducted a study on 51 sick children during an exacerbation period in a multidisciplinary TMA clinic, aged from 7 to 18 years. The control group consisted of 33 practically healthy children of the same age. The distribution of children according to the severity of BA showed a predominance of moderate-severe persistent form of BA 80.4% (n=41), mild persistent BA was detected in 14.5% (n=7±0.4), severe form in 5.1% (n=2±0.6). Thus, 76.8% of children in the main group experienced an exacerbation of asthma during coronavirus infection.
