title: Two pediatric allergists' sojourn in the People's Republic of China.
abstract: One cannot visit modern day mainland China without being impressed with the apparent vastness of the population which seems ever on the move. While manifestations of allergic disease among Chinese children resemble those seen in western countries, some factors peculiar to China, such as life style, diet, housing and absence of household pets, influence age of onset and geographic distribution of some allergic syndromes in Chinese children.
