    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of a clinico-epidemiological trial of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children according to the ISAAC program (International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Childhood). AR symptoms occurred in 12.1+/-0.8% children including in 9.7+/-1.1% first-formers and 14.5+/-1.3% eight-formers. AR is represented by mild (49.4%), moderate (31.4%) and severe (19.2%) forms. Prevalence of AR in children by active diagnosis is 4.7 times higher than by reference and reaches 9.8+/-0.7%. Six-year follow-up shows that 59.6% children developed bronchial asthma, more frequently boys aged 3-7 years. Progression of AR occurred in 25.5% children while a favourable course of the disease with a complete clinical remission was observed in 14.9%.
