Pre-school wheezing is a heterogeneous and multifactorial clinical entity, very prevalent; the prognosis varies from complete resolution by school-age in the majority of the situations, to persistence culminating in the diagnosis of asthma or irreversible changes in lung function. Despite the many longitudinal studies that have allowed a great evolution of knowledge in this area, its therapeutic approach remains a challenge, since the same symptoms may correspond to different diagnoses and prognoses.
