title: Sensitization to neumoallergens influence in mothers of asthmatic children.
abstract: Allergy diseases in our province have the characteristic of early appearance of asthma and predominant monosensitization to domestic dust mites due to the climatic condition. In this work we study the influence in allergic children. We selected 1028 mothers that brought their children to hospital for the first time. We divided them in two groups. One was comprised of 459 mothers of atopic children (MA) and another of 569 mothers of non atopic children (MC). All mothers were skin-prick tested (Phazet). The papula area, the mothers with aeroallergen sensitization, were 180 (17.5%) between MA 126 (27.4%) and MC 54 (9.5%). The diagnosis of allergic mothers was higher in MA than in MC. Asthma 8.39%, Rhinitis 4.75% and dermatitis 2%. 53.31% lived on the coast. 51.45% had house moulds. 31% had animals. 34.9% were smokers. There were more adverse drug reactions in MA than in MC. 180 mothers presented sensitization. D. pteronyssinus 66.3%, D. farinae 65.5% Lolium P. 14.55%, Cats 11.6% (MA > MC), Artemisia Vulgaris 6.25% and Cladosporium Herbarum 0.6%. There was no correlation between skin sensitization and domestic animals. There was no influence between children's IgE and mothers with skin sensitization. Skin sensitization to grass pollen correlated with the mother who was living in another country. The mothers who have been living more than five years in our province presented more skin sensitization to aero-allergens.
