[Clinical significant correlation between to the onset of bronchial asthma in children and family history of allergic diseases. Part 2. The onset of allergic diseases of their parents and bronchial asthma in children].

Eighty asthmatic and 53 non-asthmatic children were evaluated in order to find out the relationship between the onset of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis of parents. The results are as it follows. Total serum IgE levels relate to current symptoms but not to the onset of parents' allergic diseases. Child-onset allergic diseases have more asthmatic children than adult-onset ones. Child has more asthma when either father or mother has asthma than allergic rhinitis. Child-onset asthma of parents has higher incidence of asthma in children than child-onset allergic rhinitis, adult-onset asthma and allergic rhinitis. We concluded that information on the onset of parents' allergic diseases could help us to predict bronchial asthma in their children, and both environmental and psychological factors is aggravating asthmatic attacks in children.
