In the state of Tabasco, Mexico, there apparently exists a great demand for medical care in children with asthma, yet the exact number of children with this illness is unknown. This motivated us to survey the parents of 5,625 school children with ages ranging from 6 to 12 years old (2,386 girls and 2,789 boys) living in the city of Villahermosa, Tabasco. The study included 11% of the school children in the vicinity. The survey showed that 22.3% of the population of school children refer chronic or repetitive respiratory symptoms; 8.7% referred a diagnosis of asthma; 6.8% bronchitis; 2.3% asthmatic form bronchitis; and 3.9% symptoms suggestive of repeated bronchial obstruction.
在墨西哥塔巴斯科州，显然对哮喘患儿的医疗护理存在巨大需求，但患有这种疾病的儿童的确切数量尚不清楚。这促使我们对居住在塔巴斯科州比亚埃尔莫萨市的5625名6至12岁学童（2386名女孩和2789名男孩）的家长进行调查。该研究涵盖了附近11%的学童。调查显示，22.3%的学童人群有慢性或反复出现的呼吸道症状；8.7%的人被诊断患有哮喘；6.8%患有支气管炎；2.3%患有哮喘型支气管炎；3.9%有反复支气管阻塞的症状。
