| Popis: | Background: The purpose of the present retrospective study was to investigate the association of school-age asthma with acute-bronchiolitis and examine the influence of potential risk factors. Methods: One hundred and eighty-nine children aged 7.5 ± 2.2 years consecutively hospitalized for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-positive acute bronchiolitis during infancy were evaluated by clinical examination and measurement of peak expiratory flow (PEFR), spirometry, IgE and skin-prick testing. Their pulmonary function was compared with that of 60 non-asthmatic matched controls. Results: Of the entire cohort 57.1% were diagnosed as asthmatic. PEFR, the 1-second forced expiratory volume and forced expiratory flow of 50% vital capacity of children with a history of acute bronchiolitis were statistically significantly lower than in the control group (all P |
