Abstract

Objective: To determine the relationship between allergenic food intake and severity of asthma in children at the National Children’s Hospital of Paediatrics from June 2015 to June 2016. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study consisting of 172 children. Patients were examined, assessed for asthma, respiratory function measurements, eosinophil counts and serum IgE levels. Result: There was no statistically significant difference in the level of asthma control, asthma, or degree of obstructive airway obstruction between patients with bronchial asthma who had general food allergies and no allergic response eat. Conclusion: Food allergies are not related to severity in children with bronchial asthma treated in the National Children’s Hospital.
