CLINICAL FEATURES OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN GIRLS WITH SIGNS OF UNDIFFERENTIATED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO DIAGNOSIS AND CORRECTION

Abstract

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a common chronic disease among children, the pathogenesis of which is often complicated by comorbid conditions. One such condition is undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD), the prevalence of which, according to literature, reaches 30–60% among pediatric patients with allergic diseases [1,2]. The presence of dysplastic signs can aggravate the course of BA, reduce the effectiveness of therapy, and disrupt processes of sexual and somatic development.
