[Pulmonary function changes induced by bronchial asthma in children, teenagers and adults]

The study has established that pulmonary dysfunctions in bronchial asthma are less marked in children and teenagers than in adults. The magnitude of pulmonary dysfunctions are chiefly determined by the severity of bronchial asthma. There was a less close relationship of pulmonary function to the duration of bronchial asthma. There was no association of the severity of pulmonary dysfunctions with the duration of bronchial asthma.
