The purpose of this work is to improve the specialized medical care for children with bronchial asthma, people living in remote areas and villages. Materials and methods: The study involved 1,024 children with asthma (solid sample, 2003) which were observed in period of 2003 to 2013. There are 391 children-villagers as the main group; clinical examination was carried out by district pediatrician and 633 children as regional city residents (the comparison group); clinical examination was carried out by district pediatrician together with pulmonologist or allergist. The author used the methods of observation (solid documentary and selective, current, prospective) and the method of expert evaluations. Results: a significant discrepancy (p=0,03) in the evaluation by district pediatrician, practitioner or family doctor) of severity bronchial asthma and absence of bronchial asthma treatment in 28% of patients of the main group has been demonstrated in 2003. The discrepancy in the diagnosis of bronchial asthma of light degree and medium severe degree (p=0.03) were detected by a positively accepted method (examination of pulmonologist/allergist, clinical and instrumental examination, 2008). Clinical efficacy of treatment of children with bronchial asthma as residents in regional respiratory centre has been proven. For ten years the number of children with BA decreased by 25%, the number of bronchial asthma patients with moderate current (p=0.03) decreased and the number of patients with medium severe degree bronchial asthma (p=0.01) significantly increased. In 2013, the patients of the main group observations received adequate basic therapy bronchial asthma; number of children with asthma decreased in 2 times (p=0.03); the calls in the ambulance and the need for hospitalization decreased more than 2 times (p=0.03); the number of children with controlled bronchial asthma increased from 26 to 64% (p=0.05).

The effectiveness and comfort of using combined inhalation glucococrticosteroids in the patients with uncontrolled bronchial asthma of medium degree and mixed form was studied. As the reaction of application of different combined inhalation glucococrticosteroids for treating bronchial asthma of the same degree can be different, it is necessary to select not only the substance but also the form of using the preparations. So, for choosing the most effective preparation it was carried out an experiment with 40 patients aged from 18 to 65 with uncontrolled bronchial asthma of medium degree. The authors have excluded patients with: hyper sensibility to preparation components, acute infections of airways, pregnancy and lactation, presence a serious accompanying illness form. In the process of observation 2 patients dropped out of the experiment for different reasons. As a result 38 patients took part in research. The patients were divided into 2 groups. These patients received combined inhalation glucocorticosteroids in equivalent doses taking into account anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticosteroid active ingredient and features of the inhalation device. The first group of patients used Foster aerosol inhalation in the dose of 100 mcg+ 6 mcg/1 dose: container 120 doses. The second group of patients received Foradil Kombi on form of gelatinous capsules, size 3 mg+12 mcg/ 1 dose together with powder for inhalations and included with the device for inhalation. Clinical efficacy of the treatment was assessed after 4 months of treatment and the positive result was detected in the second group.
