63 cases of bronchus asthma were treated at Bach Mai hospital from January 1st to November 3th 2002, among them, female patients accounted for 68.2%, aged 41-70 years, 46% of patients experienced 20 years of the disease, 49.2% admitted to hospital due to dypneae, 41.8% due to respiratory infection. In severe cases, 100% had breath difficulty, 85.7% had respiratory muscle contrection, 57.1% had heart disease, 42.9% had alveolar murmur, 28.6% had slow breathing, 14.2% had blood hypotension. All patients of severe condition had had ventilation disorder, pulmonary obstruction. Tiffeneau index decreased more than Gaensler index.

The study of 1115 pupils aged from 4 to 15 years old from some schools in Cat Hai island district - Hai Phong city in 2001. Pupil rate with asthma disease was 9.3%. The incidence of asthma disease patients were atopic (allergic) asthma type with the state of moderately obstructed ventilation trouble, peak expiration flows were decreased about 32% to 37% when compared with the normal children. Most of these patients had the positive skin allergic reactions to one or more allergens (65.7%), in which the PMP allergen was the highest posivity (50%)

Among 1789 residents in Lach Tray ward of Hai Phong City 71 suffering from broncho asthma. In general the prevalence was 3,97%, in children 4,10%, in dults 3,92%, clinically 70% had a >5 year long duration of the disease. 54,93% had the crisis in winter, nocturnal crisis 70,42%, dyspnea 100% maily in expiration with the frequency of 25 rhythm min, sputum cough 74,64% and other signs. The leading causes were: resfriratory tract inflammation, changed weather, allergy and allergenic foods.

The study was carried out on 56 asthma patients to show some remarks on value of method of quantifying specific antibodies IgE in identifying acute atopy in asthma patients. Primary results showed that method of quantifying specific antibodies IgE in serum had sensitivity of 67.56% and specificity of 89.47% according to ≥2 score scale. Acute atopy diagnosis by clinical standards correlated strongly with acute atopy diagnosis by method of quantifying specific antibodies IgE in serum.

Studying on measurement of lung function and comparing the clinical symptoms with lung function change was carried out in 31 children from 7 to 15 years of age with asthma. Results: All of lung function indicators in the exacerbations of asthma children were decreased, such as FVC% and FEV1% < 80% compared with predicted, PEF and FEV1/ FVC% < 75%. There was relation between clinical symptoms with lung function. The more severe clinical signs were the more decreased indicators of measured lung function

Studying on arterial blood gas of 50 children with acute asthma and comparing with clinical symptoms showed that there was closely relation between symptoms such as cyanosis, fast breathing, severe breathless, talks in word or phrases with pH, PaCO2, PaO2, SaO2 and HCO3. The stimulations which related closely with hypooxygenemia were PaO2, SaO2 and pH. Tugging respiratory muscle related to changing pH in blood. There was not relation between blood gas indicators and signs such as rapid pulse and wheeze

From June 2001 to June 2002, in the Hospital 103, 31 patients aged 16-75 were studied. In 100% of them, brochial endoscopy found the contraction of bronchi under direct mechanical stimuli of the end edge of the endoscopy. This mild contraction flashed and self terminated. Out of the outbreak crisis, in 100% of bronchial biopsy samples, inflammation image appeared, and the bronchial structure changed. The main histopathological exhibitions were the infiltration of essinophile white blood, enlarging of bronchi and of the smooth muscle, the hypertrophy of bronchial epithelia and fibrosis under bronchial epithelia
