Abstract
Asthma symptoms, rhinitis and eczema have medium prevalence in Lebanon compared with worldwide data. Compared with other countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, the prevalence of 12 months of wheezing, night cough and wheezing on exercise were highest in Lebanon, but were much lower compared with English-speaking countries. Further studies are needed to understand the environmental, climatic and socio-economic causes of these discrepancies.
