Abstract
Early measles infection was associated with increased prevalence of rhinitis and BHR at the age of 7 years but has no effect on the development of asthma and allergy at the age of 7 years. This study indicates that common childhood infections such as measles in early age do not protect against later development of allergic diseases.
