The impact of food allergens on airway responsiveness in schoolchildren with asthma: A DBPCFC study.

Background And Objective: Despite the growing evidence of a possible link between asthma and food allergy (FA), so far, the involvement of food in inducing respiratory symptoms has not been fully evaluated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of food allergens on respiratory symptoms and bronchial reactivity (BHR) in schoolchildren with asthma.

Methods: The initial study group consisted of 362 children with asthma.
