10 things to know about asthma in children

Asthma affects about half a million Australian children and is one of the most common reasons why kids need to see a doctor or go to emergency.

At Telethon Kids Institute, Professor Graham Hall and the Children's Lunch Health research team are studying how and why asthma develops in children. The Childhood Asthma Study and Raine Study have been following groups of children into their teens and beyond, collecting information which includes details of how immune responses triggered in the lungs by early respiratory infections and allergies interact to drive this disease.
