Asthma trough to Parietaria in pediatrics.
We selected 183 patients with asthma, rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis. They responded positively to Parietaria Judaica skin prick-tests. In the first test 91 were positive. Of those 11 were monosensitive and 80 polysensitive. In the follow-up tests 92 were positive, of which 5 were monosensitive and 87 polysensitive. There were 54 cases of rhinitis, of which 23 developed asthma. Of 129 asthma cases, 90 developed asthma with rhinitis. The main seasons are Spring and Autumn and activity declines during winter. 18.57% are perennial. IgE was greater in the re-examination of the polysensitive cases. The monosensative cases confirmed the clinical symptoms most characteristic of rhinitis syndrome, 16.893% and asthma with rhinitis, 49.18%.
