Abstract
There were seven deaths from asthma at Children''s Hospital National Medical Center from 1944 to 1984. There have been none since 1971 despite an increased frequency of admissions for the treatment of asthma. Review of records implicated undertreatment, infection, and sedation as factors that may have contributed to deaths.
