Clinical and laboratory studies on bronchial asthma in 200 Nigerian children who were seen during a 2 1/2-year period in Ibadan are described. Contrary to reports that the condition is rare in African children, after pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma is the next most common chronic chest disease in Ibadan. While many features of the disease are similar to those seen elsewhere, skin tests indicate that ascaris is the most common antigen associated with asthma, followed by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.
本文描述了在伊巴丹为期两年半的时间里对200名尼日利亚儿童支气管哮喘进行的临床和实验室研究。与该病在非洲儿童中罕见的报道相反,在伊巴丹,哮喘是继肺结核之后第二常见的慢性胸部疾病。虽然该疾病的许多特征与其他地方所见相似,但皮肤试验表明,蛔虫是与哮喘相关的最常见抗原,其次是屋尘螨。
