Abstract

This article contains the results reached after conducting a study with 30 patients hospitalized or seen at the Emergency Ward of the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, diagnosed as suffering from a severe bronchial asthma crisis, in whom the crisis was controlled with conventional measures. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of deflazacort and prednisone as anti-inflammatory agents capable of controlling severe asthma crisis in addition to analyzing their side effects. Deflazacort showed to be as effective as prednisone.
