Pedi asthma deaths: It's rare for a child to die from asthma, thankfully. Only 152 children under 15 were reported as dying from asthma in 2007, out of a total of 3447 deaths nationally. This is down from the 5000 or so average annual deaths we typically saw before the advent of combination steroid/long-acting bronchodilator medications. http://www.lung.org/lung-disease/asthma/resources/facts-and-figures/asthma-chil.
