Abstract

Recent studies suggested low serum folate and impaired folate metabolism as potential risk factors for development of asthma and atopic disease, but the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the relations of markers of folate and vitamin B₁₂ (B₁₂) deficiency with different phenotypes of asthma and atopy.
