“…Ankara'da 1998 yılında yapılan çalışmada 7-14 yaş arası 3,154 çocukta hayat boyu en az bir hışıltı geçirenlerin oranı %14,4; doktor tanılı astım oranı %8,1 olarak saptanmıştır (5). Yaş ortalaması dokuz yaş olan 725 çocuğun değerlendirildiği bir başka çalışmada Manisa'da hayat boyu hışıltı sıklığı %22,1 olarak saptanmıştır (6). Diyarbakır'da yaşları 6-15 arasında değişen 3,040 çocuğun katıldığı çalışmada hışıltı sıklığı %22,4 ve astım %14,1 olarak saptanmıştır (7).…”

Astım çocukluk çağının en önemli kronik hastalıklarından biridir. Ebeveynlerin astım semptomları ve tetikleyicilerini biliyor olması, tanı ve tedavinin her basamağında gereklidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza Ankara'nın düşük gelir seviyeli bir bölgesinde yaşayan, yaş ortalaması 9,1 (7-11 yaş) olan 85 ilköğretim öğrencisinin ebeveynleri dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma anketi Uluslararası Çocukluk Çağı Astım ve Allerjik Hastalıklar Çalışması temel alınarak hazırlanmış, astım semptom ve tetikleyicilerini sorgulayan 31 sorudan oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: En az bir kez hışıltı geçirenlerin sayısı 11 (%12,9) iken, dokuz çocukta (%10,5) doktor tanılı astım vardı. Elli altı çocuğun (%65,9) evinde en az bir kişinin sigara içicisi olduğu saptandı. Evinde rutubet teması olanların sayısı 14 (%16,4), küf teması olanların sayısı ise 15 (%17,6) idi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda ilkokul çocuklarında hışıltı sıklığı %12,9 olarak bulunmuştur. Ev içi tetikleyicilerden rutubet, küf ve sigara teması dikkat çekicidir. Özellikle düşük gelir seviyeli bölgelerde yaşayan ebeveynlerin ev içi tetikleyiciler konusunda bilgi düzeyinin arttırılması önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Astım, çocukluk çağı, ev içi tetikleyiciler Aim: Asthma is one of the most important chronic diseases of childhood. Parents' awareness of the symptoms of asthma and what triggers it is necesssary in every step of the diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: In this study, we included parents of 85 primary education students with mean age 9.1% (7-11) settled in a neighbourhood of low income in Ankara. The Questionnaire of the study was based on International Study for Asthma and Allergies in Childhood with 31 questions concerning the symptoms of asthma and things that trigger it. Results: The number of children who had a wheezing attack at least once and recognised by their families was 10 (11.7%) while nine children had been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor. In the homes of 56 children (65.9%) there was at least one smoker. Four-teen children (16.7%) were exposed to humidity and 15 children (17.6%) had mold in their homes. Conclusion: Our study showed that the incidence of wheezing among primary school students was 12.9% Indoor triggers such as humidity, mold and cigarette smoke were reported by the students' parents. Therefore, especially in low income areas it is very important to educate the parents about indoor triggers.

“…Yapılan çalışmalar ile astım sıklığının ülkeden ülkeye değişiklik gösterdiği saptanmıştır (2,3). Hatta aynı ülke içinde farklı bölgelerde bile astım sıklığında belirgin farklılıklar mevcuttur (4)(5)(6). Bu durum astımın multifaktöriyel etiyolojisine bağlanabilir.…”

“…Young children under 3 years of age are at increased risk for acute viral respiratory infections and high influenza morbidity levels during the influenza season. Especially in infancy, wheezing frequently is associated with respiratory viral infections and allergy; about 20% of these children have recurrent wheezing episodes and might become asthmatic patients (1)(2)(3). Therefore, influenza virus vaccination is strongly recommended for children under 3 years of age during the peak influenza season (4)(5)(6)(7).…”

e Influenza virus vaccination is recommended for children, but so far, active vaccination has not been achieved because most parents lack knowledge of vaccine safety and many doctors are reluctant to administer vaccine due to concerns that steroids might alter immunogenicity. The aim of this study was to compare the immunogenicity and safety of inactivated trivalent split influenza virus vaccine between children with recurrent wheezing and healthy children of the same age group. Sixty-eight healthy children and 62 children with recurrent wheezing took part in this study. Seroconversion rates, seroprotection rates, geometric mean titers (GMTs), and geometric mean titer ratios (GMTRs) were measured by a hemagglutination inhibition assay for the assessment of immunogenicity. Solicited and unsolicited local and systemic adverse events were measured for the assessment of safety. Regarding immunogenicity, the seroconversion and seroprotection rates showed no difference overall between healthy children and children with recurrent wheezing. Also, no difference was observed between steroid-treated and nontreated groups with recurrent wheezing. Generally, the GMTs after vaccination were higher in the one-dose vaccination groups for healthy children and children with recurrent wheezing, but the GMTRs revealed different results according to strain in the two groups. Regarding safety, solicited local and systemic adverse events showed no differences between healthy children and children with recurrent wheezing. This study demonstrates that inactivated split influenza virus vaccine is able to induce protective immune responses in healthy children, as observed in previous studies, as well as in children with recurrent wheezing who require frequent steroid treatment.
