The study was designed to analyse the selected epidemiological aspects in patients with inhalant allergy treated at the Allergology Outpatient Clinic in Zabrze from 1989 till 1994. The analysis was based on the data from the files of 11,540 patients. The data of the pollinotic patients (1571 subjects) and of those with bronchial asthma (521 subjects) were analysed with regard to frequency of the diseases, place of residence (urban or country area), sex, date of birth, age when the illness had occurred, hereditary factors, type of allergens and the coexistence of other atopic diseases. Additionally, a group of 317 patients (183 men and 134 women) with inhalant allergy in period studied was randomly chosen to estimate the concentration of IgE. In the group of 28 patients with pollinosis the serum level of specific IgE antibodies against grass (g5, g6), trees (t3, t4) and weeds (w6, w9) was evaluated as well. The relationship between the concentration of IgE and sex, age, the month of birth, family history was estimated.
