Asthma prevalence has increased significantly; this increase appears to be relatively recent. The observed increases in this prevalence cannot be genetic in origin; on the other hand lifestyles have changed in many ways for environment or feeding. The hygiene hypothesis must be distinguished in terms whether one is addressing asthma or atopy. Although there are associations between asthma and atopy, they are not interchangeable. The pathogenic links between childhood infections and asthma require an undisputed definition of asthma. But many wheezing syndromes have been recognized in the pediatric age group, some overlap exists between these various phenotypes. The age at first severe infection seems to be crucial in determining the outcome of reinfection and suggests that the environment of the neonatal lung is a major determinant of disease and allergic patterns in later life.
