Children of the treatment group were treated with budesonide (200～600 μg/d) inhaled, asthma cases in the control group without budesonide inhaled. Bone metabolism, bone density and adrenal function of children in three groups were compared.ResultsAfter 18 months treatment, there were no significantly differences of bone metabolism, bone density and adrenal function among children of three groups (P>0.05).ConclusionThe treatment of glucocorticoid inhaled is safe to asthma children.
