Risk of asthma in children with a history of croup

Acta Paediatrica
T Nicolai, E V Mutius

Abstract

All fourth-grade school children in Munich and the surrounding districts (age 9-11 years, n = 9403) were surveyed with a questionnaire, lung function testing and bronchial provocation. Croup was reported in 9.8%. In these children, lung function was decreased even after controlling for asthma and other confounding factors. Only recurrent croup had an increased prevalence in children with asthma. When a family history for asthma, maternal smoking and social status were included into a logistic multiple regression model, the odds ratio to develop asthma was 2.91 (confidence interval (CI) 2.19 - 3.86) for children with a history of croup, 2.60 (CI 1.93 - 3.51) for a family history for asthma and 8.60 (CI 4.99 - 14.80) for the combination of family history and croup. Asthma was diagnosed in 37.3% of children with croup and a positive family history.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
