A screening search of 495 adolescents found bronchial asthma in 7.45 % and allergic diseases (AD) in general in 44.8 %. Most frequent AD were allergic rhinitis (16.6 %) and skin lesions (15.1 %). AD patients considerably more often nave respiratory signs (cough, breathlessness, sputum, wheezing), bronchial obstruction (22.7 % vs. 6.6 %, P < 0.05) and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (34.3 % vs. 5.7 %, P < 0.05) as compared to controls.
