The health hazards of daycare attendance for the development of upper and lower respiratory tract infections have been well documented; however the importance and the mechanism of this association have not been well defined. In order to ascertain the risk associated with the beginning of daycare (DC) attendance we conducted a survey on 1263 children aged from 3 months to 3 years; the analysis focused on the risk of developing an initial episode of common cold with fever, a first otitis and a first wheezy bronchitis (WB) within the 2 month period following admission to DC. For each 2 month period, the risk of a first infectious event was much higher in children who had just begun attending DC than in children who remained at home; the risk ratio varied from 1.7 to 2.4 for common cold, from 1.5 to 1.9 for otitis and from 1.8 to 3.2 for WB. Because age at onset of the first infectious event may be related to a higher risk of repeated events we consider that admission to DC under 12 months of age should be questioned.

In order to study the effect of the indoor pollution, particularly by parental smoking, on respiratory diseases of children, the relationship was examined between smoking by family members, use of various types of stoves and air conditioners, and the prevalence rate of respiratory diseases in 7,916 three year old children who, for health check up, visited the Chita Public Health Center located in the Aichi Prefecture in 1978-1979. Results of this study suggested that among various sources of the indoor pollution, smoking by mother had the strongest effect on respiratory diseases, especially asthmatic bronchitis of young children, while the use of various types of stoves including non-ventilated kerosene stoves was not related significantly to the prevalence rate of respiratory diseases of those children except an increased rate of frequent common cold in children of households having an air conditioner(s).

Seasonal variations in the incidence of the most common acute diseases in childhood during the inter-epidemic year 1978 were investigated using a sample of 7,068 walk-in patients attending. Aurora Hospital, Helsinki. At least seven out of the ten most common diseases were of infectious origin. Generally, boys and the younger groups were affected most often. The clearest seasonal difference in both sexes was observed in patients with gastroenteritis and otitis media. Among boys, there was also a marked fluctuation in the incidence of asthmatic bronchitis and asthma, pneumonia, and laryngitis, whereas, among girls, marked variations were observed only in urinary tract infections and acute upper respiratory infections. Children between 1 and 3 years of age appeared to be most prone to the common cold syndrome all the year round.

Single total (air bath, douche) and local (cooling of the feet with water) exposure to mild cold do not arise noticeable disorders of the respiration function in children suffering from recurrent and asthmatic bronchitis in remission. Local cold procedures improve bronchial patency while the exposure to heat results in its worsening.

174 children aged 7-14 years in remission of recurrent asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma took feet baths in addition to standard course of sanatorium treatment. Measurements of bronchial permeability and reactivity have demonstrated that foot baths have no negative effects on bronchial permeability in all the disease forms and maintain tolerance of the respiratory system to both cold and exercise.

To compare risk factors for wheezy bronchitis (WB) and multi-trigger wheeze (MTW) in pre-pubertal children along the spectrum of disease severity. Cross-sectional survey of children aged 7-12 yr in Aberdeen city primary schools in 2004 using parent-completed questionnaires as used in surveys in 1964, 1989, 1994, and 1999. Children were grouped into five categories: no wheeze in the past three years, non-severe wheeze triggered only by a cold (non-severe WB), non-severe wheeze triggered by other factors (non-severe MTW), severe WB, or severe MTW. Severe wheeze was defined as greater than four wheezing attacks, greater than or equal to one disturbed night per week, or speech limitation in the last 12 months. Questionnaires were returned by 3271 children (57.3%), of whom 7.4% had WB (6.1% non-severe and 1.3% severe) and 17.2% had MTW (9.4% non-severe and 7.8% severe). Severe disease was more frequent in children with MTW (31.8%) than in those with WB (5.1%). Whereas the prevalence of MTW had increased since 1964, the prevalence of WB had remained stable over this period. After adjustment for confounders, age had no influence on either wheeze type, and male sex was only associated with non-severe WB [OR 1.44, 95% confidence intervals (1.03-2.02)]. In the WB group eczema or/and hay fever in the child were more strongly associated with severe wheeze [OR 3.28(1.49-7.23) vs. OR 1.84(1.31-2.60)]. In the MTW group, this association was noticeably higher than in the WB group, but did not differ much between non-severe and severe wheeze [OR 5.46(3.70-7.20) and OR 6.01(4.1-8.75) respectively]. The presence of any allergic diseases in either parent increased the odds for non-severe and severe MTW at the same level of magnitude [OR 1.92(1.38-2.68) and OR 1.92(1.34-2.76) respectively], and statistically non-significantly for severe WB [OR 1.75(0.78-3.94)]. Living in a deprived area increased both severe WB and severe MTW, reaching statistical significance only for severe MTW [OR 1.96(1.39-2.78)]. Smoking in the house was associated with increased risk of WB and MTW of any severity. WB and MTW differ in prevalence trends and severity. Within severity levels, the influence of age, allergic diseases in children and parents also differed between these two wheezing subtypes.
