[Frequency of positive skin tests in asthma patients over 30 years].
Frequency of positive skin in adults with asthma is poorly understood. 153 persons aged over 30 years were selected out of 575 patients suspected of asthma (26.6%). Positive skin reactions among adults, were confirmed in 64.1% of the examined patients. Positive skin reactions were analysed according to age and sex. Opinion about low frequency of allergy and asthma in elderly should be verified.
