Abstract:
Abstract: The research was undertaken to compare the probable allergens through skin prick test (SPT) in allergic children and adults in the same geographic area. In symptomatic individuals SPT positivity toward 18 aero and food allergens were assesed and analyzed. Children were more SPT positive but when each allergen was compared between the two group, despite minor variations no significant difference was observed. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of skin prick test reactivity to a battery of 18 allergens in symptomatic children and adults in the same geographic area. By comparing results in this two group we tried to make deductions regarding gene- environment interaction.
