title: [Environment of the asthmatic child].
abstract: This work is in the purview of epidemiological studies that concern the environment of asthmatic children. Infantile asthma is found especially in children who live in the country, in an electrically-heated house and who sleep in a badly orientated room. The environment is composed of feather-bedding, soft-toy animals and animals from the countryside. The role of tobacco and insufficient aeration has been shown in this enquiry. School attendance is not disturbed by development of asthma. The majority of teachers do not understand infantile asthma. This study is to emphasize the importance of the environment in the development of allergic infantile asthma and the possibilities of its prevention. Information to the teachers, as well as the treating physicians, is also necessary for prevention.
