%X Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 196 pacientes con asma bronquial, atendidos durante el 2007 en las cl¨ªnicas de Katutura (Namibia), para determinar algunos aspectos biom¨¦dicos y sociales relacionados con esa afecci¨®n en los integrantes de la casu¨ªstica. En la serie predominaron el sexo femenino, los grupos etarios de 25 a 44 a os, el esquema terap¨¦utico basado en broncodilatadores y esteroides, as¨ª como la ausencia de una terapia higienoambiental y rehabilitadora. De igual manera, no hubo seguimiento cl¨ªnico y tratamiento adecuados seg¨²n el grado de asma bronquial existente y las acciones de promoci¨®n de salud resultaron escasas. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 196 patients with bronchial asthma was carried out. They were assisted in the clinics of Katutura (Namibia), during 2007 in order to determine some social and biomedical aspects related to this disorder in the members of the case material. In the series prevailed the female sex, the age groups from 25 to 44 years old, the therapeutical outline based on bronchodilators and steroids, as well as the lack of a rehabilitation and hygiene-environmental therapy. Similarly, there was neither appropriate clinical follow-up nor treatment according to the degree of existing bronchial asthma and there were just a few health promotion actions.
