ABSTRACT
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dexamethasone and hydrocortisone in the treatment of acute paediatric asthma. Forty seven asthmatic children were randomised to receive either dexamethasone [0.6 mg/ml, maximum 16 mg] in a single dose or hydrocortisone [8-10 mg/kg/day] in 4 equal doses for 2 days. Our findings showed that the mean length of hospitalization in children receiving dexamethasone was significantly shorter than those receiving hydrocortisone
