Eczema often precedes the development of asthma in a disease course called the 'atopic march'.

Infant respiratory infections and later respiratory hospitalisation in childhood

The aim of this study was to use total-population based data on an otherwise healthy population of children to assess the relationship between early...

Genome-wide association study of IgG1 responses to the choline-binding protein PspC of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Delayed development of antibodies to S. pneumoniae in infancy is associated with the development of atopy and asthma.

We describe recent "omic"-level findings, and examine how these findings have been systematically integrated to generate further insight

Environmental Factors in Children's Asthma and Respiratory Effects

Childhood asthma is a condition characterized by airflow obstruction that varies in time spontaneously, in response to various environmental stimuli...

Vector fields of risk: A new approach to the geographical representation of childhood asthma

One of the major challenges in health studies with a spatial dimension is to produce valid and meaningful geographical representations of risk.
