The Role of Allergy in the Development of Pediatric Bronchial Asthma
Keywords:
allergy, sensitization, atopy, bronchial asthma, IgE, allergens.Abstract
The paper analyzes the causal relationship between allergic sensitization and the onset of asthma in children. It examines the impact of early exposure to aeroallergens and food allergens on bronchial hyperreactivity. The "allergic march" concept is discussed, highlighting how IgE-mediated reactions drive chronic airway inflammation. The findings support early allergy screening as a vital component of asthma prevention.
