This study aimed to compare the efficacy of
dexamethasone and hydrocortisone in the treatment of
acute paediatric asthma. Forty seven asthmatic children
were randomised to receive either dexamethasone (0,6
mg/ml, maximum 16 mg) m a single dose or
hydrocortisone (8-10 mg/kg/day) in 4 equal doses for 2
days. Our findings showed that the mean length of
hospitalization in children receiving dexamethasone was
significantly shorter than those receiving hydrocortisone
