[Skin sensitisation profiles of outpatients with symptoms of respiratory allergies].

Aim: The main objective of the survey was to determine the frequency of the mono and polysensitizations in patients consulting for respiratory allergy, rhinitis or/and asthma. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the severity, the number and the type of the sensitizations, the frequency of the asthma or rhinitis as a function of the sensitizations, the evolution of the sensitizations with age, and identify the principal responsible pneumallergens.

Patients And Methods: The multicentric survey included a patient questionnaire allowing the collection and anonymous treatment of data on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, cutaneous tests and sensitizations.
