- Abstract
The reported impact of day-care attendance on respiratory and atopic symptoms has varied between studies from different countries. Regarding to the 'hygiene-hypothesis', day-care attendance may lead to less sensitization later in life, but the question still is whether day-care attendance and subsequent exposure to more frequent early infections is a risk or a protection against future allergic disease or asthma (atopic and nonatopic).
