Abstrakt		For an evaluation of the epidemiologic state of atopic or allergic diseases in Slovenia among children between 0 and 19 years of age, the indicators available are the data about hospital treatment and mortality. The present health information system does not give data concerning prevalence and morbidity incidence. The evaluation was made for the 1985-1994 period. Calculated were hospital treatment rate, mortality rate and statistical characteristics of the differences between sexes, age groups and timing of the phenomenon. According to the quoted factors the following diseases coded according to International Classification of the Diseases (ICD-9) were observed: acute bronchiolitis (466.1), allergic rhinitis (477.0, 477.8 and 477.9), asthma (493.0, 493.1 and 493.9), urticaria (708.0, 708.1, 7082, 708.3, 708.4, 708.5, 708.8 and 708.9), neurodermatitis (691.8), anaphylactic shock (559.0), angioneurotic edema (995.1), allergy to drugs and allergy of unknown cause (995.2 and 995.3). Comparisons with other countries are limited owing to different criteria and manner of presentation. Atopic or allergic diseases are undobtedly increasing and there are obvious differences between the sexes which is evident from our data. The number of hospital treatments increased by one half in the period of ten years. Boys were admitted more often in the prepuberal period while girls fell ill more often later on. The number of children hospital treatments is decreasing, exept in allergic rhinitis where the rate increases with age. In Slovenia the mortality rate due to atopic diseases is expressively low: 0.07 per 100.000 children (aged 0 to 19 years). If deaths due to acute bronchiolitis are added also, the rate increases to 0,25 per 100.000 children (aged 0 to 19 years).
