title: [Current concepts of asthma in children].
abstract: At the end of this quick survey of asthma in children we can only emphasize: The less than diagnostic characteristics of this syndrome, often ignored and so not considered. This explain perhaps, in part the current increase in frequency. The often precocious characteristics of the first manifestations right in the middle of the development of the respiratory tree. Of the need to make a team by associating the parents, the family physician and the allergy specialist, a team to which the child should be added as soon as possible. Of the multiplicity of factors that cause asthma, which embrace syndromes that are very personal to each patient and require special consideration for each, without stereotype or a chain.
