Abstract

Objective:To observe the effect of montelukast on the cough variant asthma(CVA). Methods: 78 cases of CVA were randomly divided into two groups.The control group received not only conventional treatments such as terbutaline and ketotifen.The treatment group received not only conventional ones but also montelukast.The treatment was kept for other 12 weeks after the clinical symptoms disappeared.The same follow-up was done. Results: The remission time of the treatment group was shorter than that of the control group(P0.01),and the recurrence rate was lower(P0.01). Conclusions: The treatment of cough variant asthma with montelukast was significant and adverse reaction was low.
