ABSTRACT
According to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) classification, mild asthma includes intermittent and mild persistent asthma. It represents more than 75% of asthmatic children. The symptoms and functional impact are well described. Mild asthma can lead to severe exacerbations. Progression to more severe disease may occur. Consequently, it is important to diagnose mild asthma, to initiate the appropriate treatment early, and to identify the risk factors for aggravation. Nevertheless, mild asthma is under-diagnosed and under-treated. Bronchial inflammation and remodeling are observed in mild asthma. A daily low-dose of inhaled corticosteroids is the reference treatment for mild persistent asthma. Intermittent inhaled corticosteroids cannot be recommended in children with mild persistent asthma.
