Abstract

Erythrocyte magnesium deficiency was detected in 38 % of children with atopic asthma and was associated with more severe asthma disease, lower FVC and FEV1. Asthma patients with erythrocyte magnesium deficiency have lower levels of asthma control and a greater as-needed medications consumption. Magnesium deficiency prevent the development of antiinflammatory action of basic therapy, maintain high levels of atopy and allergic inflammation. That can be cause of uncontrol asthma in patients with low levels of erythrocyte magnesium.

Keywords
