Objectives: To describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of asthma in children at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of University Hospital of Brazzaville. Patients and methods: We reviewed the records of children hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of University Hospital of Brazzaville from January 1 to December 31, 2015, and retained those from two months to 17 years hospitalized for asthma. The study variables were: age, sex, influence of seasons, history of atopy; the factors triggering the crisis, the type of follow-up, the degree of severity of asthma exacerbation, the type of treatment instituted and the course of the disease. In total, out of 2012 hospitalized children, 65 children met the inclusion criteria. Results: The hospital prevalence of asthma was 3.5%. Among 65 children of study, 42 (59.2%) were male and 29 (40.8%) female. The mean age was 3.9 ± 2.9 years (range from 2 months to 14 years). Children aged 30 months to 5 years were the most represented (40%). They were known as asthmatics, n = 18 (27.7%). Family atopy was found, n = 11 (16.9%). Acute Otorhinolaryngologic infections were in all cases the factors triggering the crisis. The peak frequency of hospitalizations for asthma occurred during the short rainy season. The crisis was moderate n = 46 (70%) and severe n = 19 (29%). Beta 2 mimetics were administered in all cases, by subcutaneous in 18 cases (27.7%) and inhaled in 47 cases (72.3%). The outcome was favorable in all cases with a mean hospital stay of 1.46 ± 0.92 days. Conclusion: Childhood asthma remains a public health challenge and severe asthma is the paradigm of uncontrolled and costly asthHow to cite this paper:
