Factors Responsible for Asthma and Rhinitis among Kuwaiti Schoolchildren

Abstract

There is a high prevalence of asthma and rhinitis among the schoolchildren in Kuwait. However, the level of dust mitogens investigated in this study was below the level of concern, thus undermining their role in increasing asthma cases in Kuwait. Therefore, further studies are needed to understand the role of other mite allergens and other factors that contribute to the increased prevalence of allergic diseases in Kuwaiti children.
