Abstract
Summary
The prevalence of allergic diseases has risen in recent decades,
especially among children this increase in prevalence has become a
serious public health issue. Although the etiology of this increase is not
clear, it is likely due to a combination of genetic predisposition,
environmental factors, and lifestyle changes, including dietary habits
(Saadeh, et al., 2015).
Asthma is a chronic lung disease in which air passages get inflamed.
When this happens, airways narrow and it is difficult for air to move from
the nose and mouth to the lungs. This disease affects millions of people,
many of them children. In fact, asthma is the most common chronic
childhood disease, affecting 1 of every 20 children. The disease affects
people of all ages, and races and both sexes. However, asthma is more
common in children than adults. It is also more common in African
Americans and Hispanics than whites (NHLBI, 2011).
Asthma symptoms are dyspnea, wheezing in the chest, and repeated
coughing episodes. In general, a family history of allergies is an
important indication, directing the diagnosis towards allergic asthma in
children (Saadeh, et al., 2015).
Aim of the study
This study aims to identify relationship between dietary habits
among children and severity of bronchial asthma in Emergency
department and department of Allergy and Immunology at Assiut
University Children Hospital. This department provides services for all
patients with bronchial asthma within and outside of Assiut government.

المقدمة:-
شهدت العقود الأخيرة زيادة حادة فى إرتفاع معدل إنتشار أمراض الحساسية، وخاصة بين
الأطفال ،أصبحت هذة الزيادة مشكلة صحية عامة وخطيرة. على الرغم من أن مسببات هذه
الزيادة ليست واضحة، فمن المرجح أنها نتيجة لمزيج من الأسباب الوراثية والعوامل البيئية،
وتغيير نمط الحياة، بما في ذلك العادات الغذائية.
الربو الشعبى هو مرض رئوي مزمن حيث تلتهب الممرات الهوائية ، وبالتالى يحدث بها ضيق
وصعوبة فى تحرك الهواء من الأنف والفم إلى الرئتين. يؤثر هذا المرض على ملايين
الأشخاص، بينهم العديد من الأطفال. يعتبر الربوالشعبى واحد من أكثر أمراض الطفولة المزمنة
شيوعا، والتي تؤثرعلى طفل واحد من كل 20 طفل. هذا المرض يصيب الناس من جميع
الأعمار، والأجناس والأعراق وكلا الجنسين، بالأضافة إلى أن الربو أكثر شيوعا في الأطفال
عن البالغين، كما أنها أكثر شيوعا في الأميركيين الأفارقة واللاتينيين من البيض.
أعراض الربو ضيق التنفس، صوت صفير بالصدر وتتكرار نوبات السعال. يعتبرالتاريخ
المرضى للأسرة من المؤشرات المهمة لتشخيص حساسية الربو الشعبى.
الهدف من هذة الدراسة:-
تم إجراء هذه الدراسة للتعرف على العلاقة بين عادات الأطفال الغذائية وشدة الربوالشعبى لديهم
في قسم الطوارئ وقسم أمراض الحساسية والمناعة في مستشفى الأطفال بجامعة أسيوط. يوفر
هذا القسم الخدمات لجميع المرضى الذين يعانون من الربوالشعبى
