Abstract:
When studying the age structure of children with broncho-obstructive syndrome
(BOS), it was noted that broncho-obstruction was most often observed in children
between 0 and 7 years of age. The children were divided by age as follows: the
first year of life – 5 children; from 1 to 4 years old - 8 children and from 4 to 7 years
old – 47 children. There were 35 boys and 25 girls among the studied children.
The study of anamnestic data made it possible to identify risk factors for the
development of BOS in young children. The most important factors contributing to
the development of the disease were: early artificial feeding of children (in 70%
of cases), severe allergic history (in 51.6% of cases) and bronchial hyperreactivity (in
40% of cases). The following main symptoms were noted in these children: expiratory
shortness of breath, dry unproductive obsessive cough, distant wheezing and dry
whistling wheezing. In 50% of the children, a burdened epidemiological history was
found, because on the eve of the disease, they were in contact with ARVI patients.
