Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS uReR0xly. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the effect of vaccination for diphtheria ; polio ; pertussis and tetanus ; or measles, mumps, and rubella on the incidence of physician-diagnosed asthma and eczema. Methods : We used a previously established birth cohort in the West Midlands General Practice research database. Results : We found an association between vaccination and the development of allergic disease ; however, this association was present only among children with the fewest physician visits and can be explained by this factor. Conclusions : Our data suggest that currently recommended routine vaccinations are not a risk factor for asthma or eczema.
