The aim of this study was to determine the prognosis of @entity565 in childhood in Hungary. One hundred and forty five adults (96 @entity1 and 49 @entity1 ) with a clinical history of childhood @entity565 were examined at the age of 28 years or above (mean age 37.6, SD 5.9 years). The @entity1 completed questionnaires concerning their @entity748 and accompanying @entity56 in childhood, at the age of 18 and at present. They were all prick-tested with 12 inhalant allergens. The results showed that 42.8% of the @entity1 had become symptom-free, but 57.2% still had intermittent or persisting @entity748 symptoms in adulthood. More @entity1 had intermittent day-time (59%) and night-time (67%) @entity748 symptoms than persistent symptoms (41% and 33%). Accompanying @entity56 ( @entity2490 , @entity2024 , dermal and @entity344 , and @entity56 ) in childhood did not definitely affect the prognosis of the @entity565 . The proportion of females with @entity56 increased, and among @entity1 with @entity272 it was significantly higher than the proportion of affected males. At the age of 18, @entity2023 was more frequent than in childhood. The frequencies of other @entity56 did not change significantly. In the @entity1 with @entity748 symptoms, molds and cat-hair @entity566 were more frequent than in the symptom-free group. The long-term prognosis of @entity565 in childhood in Hungary is relatively good, but fewer than half of the @entity1 became symptom-free. The complaints of most of the @entity1 were mild, but one in seven of all the adults suffered from moderate or serious @entity565 . Household allergens may contribute to the persistence of @entity748 symptoms.
