[Post-exercise asthma]

Atopy is frequently found in isolated APE (post exercise asthma) and in AIE (exercise induced asthma). These two syndromes are more frequent in men (85.5% of cases) than in women and are especially found in young subjects (62.5%) between 10 and 20 years old. There is an analogy between the study of isolated APE and the bronchospasm associated with AIE. Food allergy is found in both cases. The food allergens are the same, with wheat flour the most important foodstuff.
