One-hundred and forty atopic patients followed at Milwaukee Children's Hospital Allergy Clinic had a complete history, and the medical records were reviewed to determine if an association between croup and respiratory allergies exists. Twenty-five percent of the subjects who participated in the study had at least one episode of croup in their lives.
