ABSTRACT

Allergy is an excessive response to antigen that in another way it would be well tolerated. It has been reported that allergic disease frequency is rising. Migraine is the most frequent cause of recurrent headache, above all in women in reproductive age. There are some evidences of association between allergic diseases and migraine. This study evaluate the prevalence of migraine in a group of allergic children. A total of 97 allergic children were recruited and the diagnosis of migraine was made if patients fulfilled the International Headache Society criteria. It was also searched for allergy and migraine headache in parents and grandparents. Allergic rhinitis was present in all the allergic children. Most of the children suffered two or more allergic diseases (rhinitis plus asthma, dermatitis or conjunctivitis). The 20% of children had headaches meeting the International Headache Society criteria for migraines, 42% of their parents had migraine headaches and 69% of them had an allergic disease too. Even though the absence of a control group, this study suggest a genetic common component of allergic disease and migraine. It also is suggested that allergy and migraine can be comorbid conditions.
