Asthma and allergies have been increasing worldwide during the last 5 decades.Fifty years ago,prevalences of asthma and allergies were less than 1%;compared to today when up to 1/3 of children in some regions have been diagnosed with asthma.The burden on families and the health care system is great.The increase in asthma,rhinitis,and eczema (whether atopic or not) among children has been demonstrated by the numerous ISAAC studies (International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Children) [1,2].In some recent studies,the increase has been found to slow or even reverse in some countries.
