RESUMEN
Asma es la enfermedad crónica más común en la infancia. Sus cifras de incidencia y prevalencia siguen aumentando a nivel mundial a pesar de los nuevos métodos diagnósticos y el arsenal terapéutico específico utilizado para lograr un control adecuado. El fracaso en dicho control depende, en alto grado, del poco conocimiento que tiene el paciente sobre su enfermedad y el tipo de tratamiento que debe realizar para lograrlo. Aun en países con excelentes sistemas de salud y suministro de medicamentos gratuitos, el ansiado control total ha sido difícil de alcanzar y las cifras de personas que manejan bien su asma son decepcionantes. Urge convocar equipos multidisciplinarios de salud, educación, deporte y desarrollo social, de sectores públicos y privados, para la elaboración de políticas públicas efectivas tendientes a enfrentar la gran carga que representa el asma en la economía estadal y doméstica, así como también el deterioro importante en la calidad de vida de quienes la sufren. Los programas de seguimiento y educación sanitaria del asmático y sus cuidadores deben constituir una prioridad para el Estado, quien está encargado de velar, gratuitamente, por el bienestar biopsicosocial de cada uno de sus miembros.
ABSTRACT
Asthma is the most common chronic disease during childhood. Despite the growing number of methods and techniques employed for diagnosis and medical treatments, asthma keeps growing in number of person who suffer it. Failure to control asthma will depend on the knowledge that the patient has about the disease and the treatment that is given by the medical team. Even in countries with excellent health systems and free supply of, the longed total control has been difficult to reach and the numbers of persons who deal well the disease are disappointing. It is urgent to summon multidisciplinary work teams in health, education, sport and social development in public and private sectors. These efforts should be aimed at the production of effective public policies tending to face the great load that asthma represents for the local and national economy, as well as to alleviate the important deterioration in the quality of life of those who suffer it. The programs of follow-up and sanitary education of the asthmatic patient and his keepers must constitute a priority for the State, who is entrusted to watch, free of cost, over the biopsicosocial well-being of each of his members.
