Abstract
Epidemiological studies in South Africa show increasing prevalence rates of asthma and allergic sensitisation in both urban and rural Black African communities, and narrowing of the urban-rural gradient. There is a paucity of current data on bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) in urban Black African children, associations between asthma and BHR and the relationship between BHR, allergen sensitisation and other atopic diseases.
