title: [Dyspneic bronchopathy and asthma: hospital admission between 1979 and 1994].
abstract: 4,618 children, hospital admitted between 1979 and 1994 for wheezy bronchitis or asthma, have been investigated. the patients were distributed in two groups, according to mean age of 19 months or 8 year. An increasing incidence of asthma, an earlier onset or respiratory symptoms, more frequent hospitalisation in children aging less than 2 years, in recent years were observed. In elder children however, less frequent hospitalisation occurred.
