Article Synopsis
- Aeroallergens play a critical role in asthma and allergic diseases, and a recent study in Bushehr, Iran aimed to identify their prevalence among patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis using skin prick tests (SPT).
- Among 743 patients tested, house dust mites were identified as the most common allergen, followed by molds and animal dander, with a significant correlation between certain allergens and the severity of allergic reactions and asthma symptoms.
- The study suggests that the region's hot climate and increased humidity may influence the prevalence and patterns of aeroallergen sensitivity, impacting treatment and management strategies for affected individuals.
Asthma and allergic diseases present a major health burden. Information on the prevalence of these diseases indicates that these diseases are increasing in various parts of the world. It was hoped that this study would be helpful to health system policy-makers in planning allergy prevention programs in the region.
