    Abstract This review touches on what is being learned about wheezing in infants, how it differs from wheezing in later childhood, and what has been relearned about its natural history. Wheeze is a common symptom with a number of different causal mechanisms and has a better prognosis in infants than in older children. The current ability to measure the lung function of infants has clearly shown the harmful effects of exposure to tobacco smoke. These effects begin in utero and continue during infancy and childhood. Improved viral isolation techniques have confirmed the important role of infections with respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and adenovirus in wheezing episodes. In later childhood, allergen sensitization and allergen exposure become of increasing importance.

    Abstract Allergic conditions are common, with asthma being the most common chronic illness in childhood in most developed countries. Some 80% of asthmatic children are sensitized to aeroallergens, usually indoor animal dander and house dust mite. Some 80% of asthmatics also have rhinitis. Rhinitis and eczema receive less medical attention than asthma, but they can cause long-term morbidity and have substantial direct and indirect economic costs. Food allergy and anaphylaxis are increasingly recognised and are usually easily diagnosed and managed. Clinicians can use in vivo and in vitro measurements of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E to better time reintroduction of implicated foods. Specific parenteral and sublingual immunotherapy is widely practiced internationally but is uncommon in the UK. It may alter the natural history of aeroallergen reactive diseases in the upper and lower airways. Specific oral tolerance induction represents the current cutting edge in clinical allergy research. It remands resource intensive at present and cannot be adopted into routine clinical practice at this time.

    Abstract Background: The specificity of allergen skin prick testing to diagnose clinically relevant food allergy is controversial.
    Objectives: To determine the specificity of the allergen weal diameter to correctly identify children who react on formal open food challenges.
    Methods: Over a 9-year period children referred to a tertiary allergy clinic for the evaluation of suspected food allergy were prospectively studied. Allergen skin prick testing to cow milk, egg white and peanut extracts (Dome-Hollister-Stier, Spokane, WA, USA) was undertaken using a lancet technique. All children underwent open food challenges to the relevant food(s) in a hospital clinic. Challenges were classified as positive, if objective signs were seen; negative, if the child could tolerate normal quantities of the food, daily, for one week; or inconclusive if none of the former criteria were met.
    Results: Five hundred and fifty-five challenges were undertaken in 467 children: 339 challenges to cow milk, 121 to egg, and 95 to peanut. Fifty-five percentage of challenges were positive, 37% negative, and 8% inconclusive. For each food it was possible to identify a skin weal diameter at, and above, which negative reactions did not occur: cow milk, 8 mm; egg, 7 mm; peanut, 8 mm. In contrast, positive reactions could occur with a skin wheal diameter of 0 mm.
    Conclusions: In this high risk referral population it was possible to define skin weal diameters to egg, milk and peanut above which open oral food challenges were positive (100% specificity). By utilizing these measurements the need for formal food challenges can be reduced.

    Abstract Eighty-two children admitted to hospital with exacerbations of asthma were studied to determine how many were exposed to house dust mites at the time of admission and displayed immediate hypersensitivity to house dust mites. The concentration of house dust mite allergen (Der p I) was measured in dust obtained from the child's mattress, bedroom floor and living room floor. Sixty-two (75%) children admitted had been exposed to > 10 microg Der p I/g. Sixty-seven (82%) children were sensitive to house dust mite (RAST > or = 1 +, or weal > or = 3 mm): 49 (60%) children were both exposed and sensitive. In contrast in a control group of 44 children, 31 (70%) (n.s.) were exposed to > 10 microg Der p I/g, 10 (23%) (P<0.001) were sensitive to house dust mite, and 7 (16%) (P<0.001) were both exposed and sensitive. Seventy-three homes were revisited 6 months after the child's initial admission. During the preceding month 14 children had been readmitted, 12 were fully investigated; of these 10 were both sensitive to house dust mite and still exposed to > 10 microg Der p I/g. In contrast, of the remaining 62 children who were not readmitted, only 19 were both sensitive and still exposed to > 10 microg Der p I/g (P<0.001). In conclusion, the majority of children admitted to hospital with exacerbations of asthma were exposed to house dust mite allergen and were house dust mite sensitive. Further the results suggest that continued exposure to higher concentrations of mite allergen may be associated with the risk of readmission.
