FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pediatrics, pulmonology and allergology, and concerns the prediction of the risk of developing asthma in young children. For this purpose, determine the concentration of interleukin-4 and the concentration of interleukin-8 in the serum of peripheral blood of a child aged 1 to 6 years with a recurrent bronchial obstruction syndrome and a negative asthma propensity index API. When the concentration of interleukin-4 is more than 8.4 pg/ml in combination with the concentration of interleukin-8 more than 8.5 pg/ml, the development of asthma is predicted.
EFFECT: method provides improved prediction accuracy by assessing the pathogenetic factors of bronchial asthma.
