Keywords:
bronchial asthma, children, early diagnosis, prevention, risk factors, pediatric pulmonology.Abstract
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in children and remains a significant public health problem worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective preventive strategies are crucial for reducing disease severity, preventing complications, and improving the quality of life of pediatric patients. This article discusses the current approaches to early diagnosis of bronchial asthma in children, including clinical assessment, identification of risk factors, functional diagnostic methods, and biomarkers. Particular attention is paid to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies, with an emphasis on environmental control, allergen avoidance, health education, and early medical intervention. The role of family history, prenatal and postnatal factors, and lifestyle influences in the development of asthma is also analyzed. The article highlights the importance of an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to early diagnosis and prevention in pediatric practice.
