Faut-il agir sur l’environnement pour la prévention primaire et tertiaire des maladies allergiques ?

Primary and tertiary prevention of childhood allergies and asthma has progressed. It appears ever more certain that avoidance, whether primary or tertiary, should be global to be effective in the prevention of asthma. That is why it seems useful that medical home environment councilors (CMEI) who have the necessary time should audit the quality of the indoor air and give advice on the widest possible avoidance measures (including other household pollutants that may aggravate allergic asthma). With an environmental disease such as asthma, control of the environment is a therapeutic approach that should be offered to children with allergic asthma.
