title: [Prevention of asthma in children].
abstract: The increased prevalence of asthma in children is mostly determined by environmental factors such as allergen exposure, viral infections, passive tobacco smoking, air pollution ... The control of the newborn's and infant's environment can reduce the symptoms especially in genetically at risk babies. Several measures are now recommended from pregnancy.
