“…Dados do SCAALA (Social Changes, Asthma and Allergy in Latin America) mostram que, em Salvador, a maior parte da ocorrência da asma é persistente 4 , a prevalência de sibilância entre crianças atópicas foi de 34,8% e de 25% entre as não atópicas 5 , sendo que crianças atópicas apresentaram 60% mais chances de desenvolver sibilância, comparadas às não atópicas. O número de internações e de atendimentos em emergên-cia é relevante e pode sofrer redução significativa com atenção e cuidado específico em programas de controle de asma 6 . Esse panorama sinaliza a asma como um importante problema de saúde pública para Salvador.…”
