(Kemp JP, Skoner D, Szefler SJ, et al. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 1999;83:231–239). This study retrospectively examines the data more closely and demonstrates that efficacy and safety are not dependent on whether administration is by facemask or mouthpiece. The results here provide reassuring data for clinicians treating children with persistent asthma who are too young to use mouthpieces. Similar results have also been reported for children in this age group with moderate persistent asthma (Mellon M, Leflelin J, Walton-Bowen K, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2000;162:593–598).
