title: [Asthma and recurrent respiratory infections in children].
abstract: Recurrent respiratory infections in children are usually associated with a bronchial hyperreactivity not diagnosed or insufficiently treated. Determining the trigger factors of asthma in a child (allergy, gastro-esophageal reflux or exercise induced-asthma) is as important as avoiding passive tobacco smoking. Through knowledge of the disease and its appropriate treatment, the patient must become asymptomatic.
