Clinical features and therapy of bronchial asthma associated with gastroesophageal reflux
Abstract
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.
