Клиника и лечение бронхиальной астмы, сочетающейся с гастроэзофагеальным рефлюксом

An importance of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) for the natural history and clinical presentation of bronchial asthma (BA) was studied. Sixty-four patients with different severity of bronchial asthma and clinical signs of GER were examined. When daily monitoring esophageal pH a frequency of GER was estimated in BA patients with indigestion. A direct correlation was found between respiratory symptoms’ severity and GER. GER correction led to a relief of BA signs, faster stabilization and reduction in need of medications for BA.
