Abstract:
The prevalence of respiratory symptoms and illnesses among 2225 schoolchildren in Hong Kong was studied by questionnaires administered independently to them and their parents. The agreement was generally poor for respiratory symptoms. The disparity shows the need for cross validation of clinical information in history taking.
