The relationship between croup and asthma.
In 241 outpatients with asthma a higher prevalence of croup (33.2%) was found than in 131 controls (20.6%). The difference for recurrent croup was even more significant. Among inpatients with croup, compared with controls without, a greater tendency towards asthma, but not towards other atopic diseases, was found.
