title: [Evaluation of the prevalence sensitization to common inhaled allergens in children of school age using skin tests].
abstract: The prevalence of sensitization to common inhalant allergens was assessed among schoolchildren using skin prick tests with standard allergen extracts. The results were analysed in relation to asthma and allergy suggestive symptoms. A positive reaction to at least one allergen was observed in 13.5% children. The most frequent was allergy to timothy, then to house dust mite, birch, mugwort, cat dander and dog dander. Children with wheezing, breathlessness and/or rhinitis had significantly more frequent positive test results compared to children without any complaints.
