Three large epidemiological studies in Birmingham over a period of 20 years showed a significant increase in the prevalence of asthma in children. Children of immigrants from the West India and Asia had a low prevalence if born abroad, but as high a prevalence as European Children if born in England. The age of onset of asthma and eczema is earlier than that of maximum appearance of skin reactions to common allergens. Among atopic children, 35% have raised levels of IgG4. These children respond poorly to cromoglycate and usually need steroids. Those with eczema have high levels of both IgG4 and IgE. Asthmatic children are more frequently born between May and October compared with the general population. This excess of birth of asthmatic children in Summer is due to mite sensitive children. The excess of births in Summer is not related to hay fever or to pollen sensitivity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006969	Hypersensitivity, Immediate	Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability.

D007073	Immunoglobulin E	An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE).	IgE
D007074	Immunoglobulin G	The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D004205	Cromolyn Sodium	A chromone complex that acts by inhibiting the release of chemical mediators from sensitized MAST CELLS. It is used in the prophylactic treatment of both allergic and exercise-induced asthma, but does not affect an established asthmatic attack.

D004739	England	A part of Great Britain within the United Kingdom.
D005938	Glucocorticoids	A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
