AIM: The study was designed to characterise more exactly the complex syndrome of exercise-induced @entity110 and @entity2021 in order to obtain guidelines for their management. METHODS: 30 @entity1 (18 @entity1 and 12 @entity1 with physical exercise-induced @entity110 and @entity2021 were investigated by questionnaire. The following items were of particular interest: age and sex; age at first manifestation; type, duration and intensity of the precipitating activity; type, duration and sequence of symptoms; prophylactic or therapeutic measures as cofactors. RESULTS: Initial symptoms occurred at an average age of 22 (7-50) years. Atopy was present in 70%. Jogging (60%), ball games (40%) and walking (27%) were the most frequent precipitating activities. On each occasion symptoms began a few minutes to hours after the start of the exercise. During a typical episode an average of eight symptoms were observed, most frequently affecting the skin ( @entity111 , angiooedema, @entity5105 and @entity110 ), dyspnoea and @entity344 . @entity1163 occurred in nine @entity1 : before they lost consciousness they noted at least two prodromal symptoms. The most common co-factors were humid-warm weather, severe @entity9201 and eating certain foods shortly before the exercise. Prophylactic measures were quite different between individuals. CONCLUSION: Providing detailed information on how to avoid possible cofactors and manage prodromal symptoms should be at the forefront of looking after such @entity1 , most of whom lead a rather active life.
