ABSTRACT
In this study, 45 pregnant asthmatic women versus 33 pregnant non- asthmatic ones as a control group were examined to evaluate the relationship between infant and maternal outcomes and asthma complicating pregnancy. The adverse maternal outcomes associated with maternal asthma were preeclampsia, placenta previa, cesarean delivery and gestational diabetes. The adverse infant outcomes showed a significant difference as regard to birth weight and Sao2; but other parameters [pre-term infant, small for gestational age, post-term infant, respiratory distress and neonatal deaths] showed a nonsignificant difference
