摘要：

Several recent cross-sectional epidemiological surveys have demonstrated a significantly lower prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopy in farmers compared to people living in rural areas without farming activities. This protective effect does seem to be related to contact with livestock and cattle through regular exposure to Gram negative bacteria and endotoxins, which stimulate the Th1 pathways. However such compounds have detrimental effects in patients with established asthma. (C) 2001 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
