“…Relativamente à adesão verificaram-se 25% de abandonos nos primeiros 6 meses de tratamento e, só 5% completaram 3 anos.REV PORTPNEUMOL 1998; IV (4): 387-391 ABSTRACT: Although abcense of crisis or relevant complaints, many asthmatic patients mantain wheezy
breathing in effort with greater or minor limitation on their activity, after treatment with specific immunotherapy (S.I.T.).This question is raised out especially among young adults and people whose job demand continuous efforts, and whose compliance is very often irresponsive.The objective is to evaluate the behaviour of the bronchial reactivity (BR) throughout the treatement with S.I.T., without agudizations or any other associated medication such as: inhaled corticoids, C.
G.D.S. or sympathomimetic drugs, with exercise testing in a treadmill, before the immunotherapy, after 1 year and between 24-36 months of the treatement, as well as, the degree of compliance after begining the S.I.T..From the analysis of the results of this paper it is not possible to
draw out any direct relation between the S.I.T. and the degree of reactivity, face to the effort, considering the variability of BR in each individual, throughout the treatement.The compliance to S.I.T. show us 25% of losses in the
first 6 months and only 5% bas completed 3 yearsREV PORT PNEUMOL 1998; IV (4): 387-391 Palavras-chave: Asma, reactividade brônquica, esforço, imunoterapia, Key-words: Asthma, bronchial reactivity, effort, immunoterapy…”
