Lung function was examined in 24 children who for a year or more had not received treatment for asthma or had any asthmatic symptoms. Although clinical recovery from asthma was apparent, increased bronchial smooth-muscle tone remained present, which probably renders such children susceptible to obstructive lung disease in adult life. These children should be given guidance on treatment of their symptoms and instructed in preventive measures.
对24名儿童进行了肺功能检查,这些儿童已有一年或更长时间未接受哮喘治疗或出现任何哮喘症状。尽管哮喘的临床症状已明显恢复,但支气管平滑肌张力仍持续增加,这可能使这些儿童在成年后易患阻塞性肺病。应就这些儿童症状的治疗给予指导,并指导他们采取预防措施。
