Prevalence of allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis in children with recurrent wheeze.
We studied 260 children with recurrent wheeze for the presence of allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis by a questionnaire based survey. We observed that 35% wheezers had allergic rhinitis, 15% had allergic conjunctivitis and 19% had atopic dermatitis. Nasal and eye allergies were often not recognized.
