Wheezing; Generally a pathological sound ( sometimes
can be heard normally during forced expiratory
maneuver) which shows pathological obstruction of
lower respiratory tracts.
Wheezy Child; A child whose wheezing persists more
than one month and/or has had 3 or more wheezing
attacks.
Typical Wheezing
Transient wheezing
Nonatopic (viral)
Atopic (persistent)
Severe intermittent
(PRACTALL)

Tucson Children’s Respiratory
Study
n= 1246
Beginning in 1980, birth-cohort-11 years
49 % wheezing in 0-6 years.

Transient Early Wheezing
• Exists in 0-3 years.
• Disappears in third year.
Responsible for
80 % in first year
60 % in second year
40 % in third year of all.
• Similar frequency history in family.
• No asthma or atopy history in family.
• No atopy, eosinophilia or
inflammation in infant.
• Wheezing after viral infections.
Transient Early Wheezing
(Lung Function Tests)
• Lung functions are decreased at
birth.
• Improves as the infant gets older.
• Can’t exactly catch his/her coequals.
• PEF variability in 11 years old and
response to metacholine are similar
to normal children.
• Becomes COPD if smokes in
adulthood.
Transient Early Wheezing
Risc Factors
• Prematurity, low birth weight
• Maternal smoking during pregnancy or in
postnatal period
• Going to day-care center early
• Siblings at home
• Lower maternal age
Non-atopic Wheezing
• 40 % of persistent wheezy
infants
• They are non atopic.
• Change in control of airway
tonus
Congenital, infection relation?
• Attacks are related with viral
infections (most commonly
RSV)
• RSV increases the risk until
10th year, ineffective after 13rd
year.
Tucson
Children’s Respiratory Study
472 LRTI;
207 43.9 % RSV
14.4 % Parainfluenza
68 14.4 % Adenovirus, influenza, CMV,
Chlamydia, rhinovirus, bacteria,
mix infec.
129 27.3 % non-infective pathogen
68
Non-Atopic Wheezing
(Lung function tests)
• 0-3 years, RSV (+) Lung function test <
RSV(-)
• Bronchodilatator response
RSV (+) Lung fxn test > RSV (-)
The difference persists during 11st
year.
Atopic Wheezing (Asthma)
• 60 % of persistent
wheezers.
• 50 % : before 3rd year,
80 % : before 6th year
• Family asthma history
• Allergic rhinitis or atopic
dermatitis in patient
• Eosinophilia, high serum
IgE level, BHR(+)
• Early aeroallergen
sensitization
Early and Late Atopic Wheezing
Early atopic wheezing
If atopic wheezing of children has been
detected before 3 years old and if it persists
during 6th year
Have worse lung function tests, more severe
bronchial reactivity, higher serum IgE levels.
Late atopic wheezing
If atopic wheezing of children has been
detected after 3rd year and if it persists
during 6th year
Have better lung function tests, milder bronchial
reactivity, less high serum IgE levels.
Allergic sensitivity and asthma
Factors which alter asthma risc
Increases
• Early allergic
sensitization
• Sensitization with
some
aeoroallergens
(perennial)
• Eosinophilia
Decreases
In young ages
• Contact with other
children
• Contact with cats
• Contact with some
farm animals

As a result; in patients who has asthma with a high
probability, LTRA can be used due to the guidelines.
But in patients whose asthma diagnosis is uncertain,
good evaluation of the patient and more studies on this
issue are needed for definite indication.
According to GINA 2006, LTRA is effective in
postinfectious asthma exacerbations.

Result: Although ICSs are less effective in young ages

Treatment in 0-2 Years (asthma)
• >3 exacerbations in last 6 months, responsive to bronchodilatators
•In acute attack (intermittent), first choice is β2 agonists.
•LTRA in viral wheezy child for controller effect
•In patients with persistent asthma, first choice is inhaled steroids (100-200
µgr /day)
•In frequently repetitive acute attacks, oral corticosteroids 3-5 days
PRACTA L.L.Allergy 2008; 63;5-34
Treatment in 3-5 Years (asthma)
• ICS  first choice
BDS 100-200 µgrx2 days or Flutic 50-125 µgrx2 days
• Short acting β2 agonists, for every 4 hours 1-2 puff when needed
• LTRA as a monotherapy in intermittent and mild persistent patients
instead of ICS
• If not fully controlled with ICS, add LTRA
• If not still well controlled, add LABA according to age. Increase ICS
dosage. Add theophylline.
PRACTALL.ALLERGY 2008:63;5-34
Well-controlled Asthma
• Daytime symptoms twice or less per week (not more than
once on each day)
• No limitations of activities due to asthma
• Night-time symptoms 0-1 per month
• Reliever/rescue medications twice or less per week
• Normal lung function (if able to measure)
• 0-1 exacerbations in the last year
PRACTALL Allergy. 2008: 63;5-34
Result
• Inhale steroids are the main drugs in the
treatment. Should be used.
• LTRA can be used as a monotherapy or
with ICSs in post-infectious (viral)
wheezings.
• Bronkodilatators can be used in acute
period or if needed.
PRACTALL 2008-GINA 2006
Treatment of Atypic Wheezing
• The underlying disease should be treated.
