The male to female ratios in recurrent wheezing group and in non-recurrent wheezing group were 5.5:1,2. 3:1 respectively. 3) The incidence of recurrent wheezing was high in group who had been suffered from acute bronchiolitis under 3 months of age. 4) Statistically there was a significant correlation between recurrent wheezing and symptom of dyspnea. 5) There was a significant correlation between recurrent wheezing and sternal retraction. 6) Low level of WBC count in peripheral blood showed decreasing tendency of recurrent wheezing.
