FREQUENCY OF ALLERGENS IN THE POPULATION OF THE NORTH PART OF EVROS
Abstract
It has been studied the frequency of allergy in 98 people which examined in our hospital. Fifty three out of them (54.08%) showed allergy in one or moreallergens. The most frequent allergens where the mites of the house dust and the pollen of the grasses. In ninety nine projects coming from North Eνros, we studied the possibility of allergy from different allergens. Fifty three of (54.8%) positive skin prick test for one or more allerges.References
