| Abstract |
|
The evaluation of sensitization to aeroallergens is valuable in diagnosis and treatment of atopic respiratory disorders. Because of the identical climates in Jeju, Korea, the sensitization rates may differ from other regions of Korea. The sensitization rates in Jeju was rarely reported. To examine the sensitization rates to common inhalant allergens and to suggest the proper evaluation panels of skin prick tests in Jeju, Korea The results of skin prick tests in atopic individuals were analyzed retrospectively and cross-sectionally from allergy clinics. Two hundred and eighty seven atopic individuals (mean age of 33) were enrolled from 3regional facilities. Skin prick tests were performed with different allergens from different manufacturers. House dust mites, cockroach, oak and mugwort are commonly sensitized aeroal1ergens in Jeju. Some of allergens showed different sensitization rates according to the manufacturers. Common aeroallergens for skin prick tests in Jeju were suggested. Standardization of aeroallergens for skin prick tests should be performed. |
