The aim of this study was to determine if children in the
community with persistent cough can be considered to have asthma. A
validated questionnaire was given to the parents of 1245 randomly selected children aged 6-12 years. Atopy was measured with skin prick
tests. Children with persistent cough had less morbidity and less atopy
compared with children with wheeze. Although the syndrome commonly
referred to as "cough variant asthma" could not be shown in this
study, a significant number of children with persistent cough had been
diagnosed as having asthma and were treated with asthma medications
including inhaled corticosteroids. Studies are urgently needed to
determine the appropriate treatment for children with persistent cough.
