Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Its clinical manifestation is not as typical as adult asthma. Recurrent episodes of cough and wheezing are the most frequent symptoms. There is no universally accepted definition of childhood asthma. Asthma is more likely to be missed or labelled as bronchitis. Underdiagnosis causes the delay in regular and specific treatment.
