Abstract

Wheezing illness is a common problem during first year of life and is observed in the one third of this age group. During infancy, in most cases wheeze is episodic and transient. In some of them, wheeze is chronic and persistent. Retrospective clinical studies show that asthma is diagnosed in later life in the part of persistent wheez-ers. Conducted in the past decade prospective epidemiological studies revealed significant factors related to the development of asthma from the group of persistent wheezers in early period of life. It can be believed that childrens early identification with increased risk of asthma development allows to introduce effective preventive programs.
