Effects of wheezing in early childhood in the development of allergic rhinitis in later years.

Background: Studies on the long-term effects of wheezing in infancy have particularly focused on asthma. There isn't adequate information about the effects of wheezing in the development of allergic rhinitis in later years.

Objective: In this study, children with wheezing in the first year of life were investigated in terms of allergic rhinitis after five years of age.
