Abstract:
Among a child out of ten is asthmatic. School absenteeism is frequent, due to an insufficient control of asthma. This insufficient control is especially evident at school where the usual risk factors of asthma are present. Allergenic risk with animals danders carried by other children, or regular practice of sports, are difficult situations for the asthmatic child. Controlling asthma, informing school and communicating with teachers, using the individualized care project, should avoid this absenteeism, which is responsible of school backwardness and difficulties in choosing careers.
