Several studies in the Russian Federation demonstrate the successful use of the ammonium glycyrrhizinate) in addition to standard asthma therapy in children during the acute respiratory infections season. However, no studies have been conducted during the spring pollen season.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ammonium glycyrrhizinate in the combination treatment of children aged 5–17 years with mild asthma during the spring pollen season.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold> Two groups of patients with mild asthma were observed during the pollen season: the main (<italic>n</italic> = 20) and the control (<italic>n</italic> = 20) groups. In the main group, ammonium glycyrrhizinate was added to standard asthma therapy for 18 weeks. Four clinical visits were conducted (day 1, weeks 6, 12, 18). At each visit, symptoms were assessed using a 4-point visual analog scale, asthma control tests, and peak flow measurements. From April to May, patients or their parents recorded daily symptoms in diaries.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> During the tree pollen season (March – May), the control group demonstrated an increase in daytime and nighttime cough, reaching maximum values at visit 3 (2.3 ± 0.3 and 1.25 ± 0.08 points, respectively). In the main group the severity of cough remained low and did not exceed 0.9 points (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.05). A similar pattern was observed for rhinoconjunctival symptoms: in the main group their severity remained at the level of mild manifestations (≤1.3 points), in the control group they reached moderate severity (up to 2 points). Asthma control test scores in the main group remained stable and corresponded to well-controlled asthma (23.5 ± 0.4 and 24.3 ± 0.8 points at visits 2 and 3, respectively), in the control group a decrease to 20.4 ± 0.9 points was observed at visit 3 (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.05). The mean duration of allergy symptoms in the main group did not exceed 15 days, in the control group it reached 18–25 days.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION: </bold>Adding ammonium glycyrrhizinate to standard therapy of mild asthma in children during the spring pollen season effectively decreases the severity and duration of bronchial and rhinoconjunctival symptoms, and improves asthma control during periods of high pollen exposure.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Сезонные обострения бронхиальной астмы у детей остаются значимой проблемой современной педиатрии и детской аллергологии. В России проведены исследования, результаты которых свидетельствуют об успешном применении перорального препарата аммония глицирризинат дополнительно к базисной терапии бронхиальной астмы у детей в сезон острых респираторных инфекций. Однако исследований в весенний сезон пыления ранее не проводилось.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> — оценка эффективности и безопасности применения препарата аммония глицирризинат в комплексном лечении детей 5–17 лет с легкой бронхиальной астмой в весенний сезон пыления растений.</p> <p><bold>Методы.</bold> Под нашим наблюдением находились 2 группы пациентов (основная (<italic>n</italic> = 20) и контрольная (<italic>n</italic> = 20)) с легкой бронхиальной астмой в предсезонно-сезонный период пыления весенних деревьев. Пациентам основной группы дополнительно к базисной терапии астмы назначен препарат аммония глицирризинат курсом 18 нед. За этот период выполняли 4 очных визита в клинику (1-й день, 6, 12 и 18-я недели). На визитах оценивали жалобы/симптомы по 4-балльной визуальной аналоговой шкале, контроль бронхиальной астмы (тесты по контролю над астмой для детей 4–11 лет и для детей старше 12 лет), показатели пикфлоуметрии. Пациенты (родители пациентов) с апреля по май ежедневно заполняли дневники симптомов.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> В период пыления деревьев, с марта по май, в контрольной группе наблюдалось нарастание выраженности симптомов дневного и ночного кашля с максимальными значениями на 3-м визите (2,3 ± 0,3 и 1,25 ± 0,08 балла соответственно); в основной группе выраженность кашля оставалась низкой и не превышала 0,9 балла (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,05). Аналогичная динамика отмечалась для риноконъюнктивальных симптомов: в основной группе их выраженность сохранялась на уровне легких проявлений (≤1,3 балла), в контрольной достигала среднетяжелых значений (до 2 баллов). Показатели теста по контролю над астмой на фоне проводимой терапии у пациентов основной группы оставались стабильными и соответствовали хорошему контролю заболевания (23,5 ± 0,4 и 24,3 ± 0,8 балла на 2-м и 3-м визитах соответственно); в контрольной группе отмечалось их снижение до 20,4 ± 0,9 балла на 3-м визите (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,05). Средняя длительность симптомов сезонной аллергии у пациентов основной группы не превышала 15 дней, в контрольной — достигала 18–25 дней.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Результаты настоящей наблюдательной программы демонстрируют, что включение препарата аммония глицирризинат в весенний период пыления растений в комплексную терапию бронхиальной астмы легкого течения у детей позволяет эффективно воздействовать на респираторные симптомы сезонной аллергии, способствует уменьшению их выраженности и продолжительности, поддержанию хорошего контроля бронхиальной астмы в период высокой экспозиции пыльцы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>bronchial asthma</kwd><kwd>children</kwd><kwd>allergy</kwd><kwd>pollen</kwd><kwd>birch</kwd><kwd>ammonium glycyrrhizinate</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>бронхиальная астма</kwd><kwd>дети</kwd><kwd>аллергия</kwd><kwd>пыльца</kwd><kwd>береза</kwd><kwd>аммония глицирризинат</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The research and preparation of the publication were carried out with the support of Millor Group.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование и подготовка публикации проведены при поддержке ООО «Миллор Групп».</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Makrufardi F, Rusmawatiningtyas D, Murni IK, et al.
