Methods: We stared to investigate that what could be the causative factors in children who suffered dyspnoe, and other signs of asthmatic exacerbation from September 2008, could we present the increasing number of these patients in hospitalization rate, and could we confirm the changing compliance of the regular medication during the summer period?
A short questioner was constructed and was given the patients who were admitted to hospital (162) with asthma exacerbation symptoms. Then 45 patients were selected for a longer follow up to investigate their compliance in medication. We investigate from the database of our Hospital the asthmatic patients admission rate from 2006.
Results: We could present from 2006 the increasing number of patients admitted because of asthma exacerbation in September in every year. We could present the increased number of schoolage patient among all of the admitted patients in the fall season. We compare the genders which was similar. We found that the symptoms of asthma was worth in the fall season. We confirmed the higher number of patients suffering from viral infections. But the changing rate among patient who stopped the medication during summer was low as 13 %.
Conclusions: We could confirm the september epidemic of asthma exacerbation among our patients as well. Compare the international investigations the main cause of the september epidemic of asthma connecting with the beginnig of the school year and the increasing number of viral infections at this period of the year.
Fortunately among our patient compliance was good but we have to continue our patients education time to time.
