Abstract

To determine a risk of bronchial asthma appearance in children with wheezing during the first three years, 53 children were examined. They were compared to a group of randomized school children N = 38, and a group of asthmatics N = 42. Among children with wheezing a risk of asthma appearance was 33.8%. In lung function tests no similarities were detected.
