ABSTRACT

Allergic diseases constitute a group of inflammatory, chronic, systemic and multivariate diseases, of multifactorial origin where, the genetic background, the inheritance, and the epigenetic will be fundamental. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 30% of the population is sensitized. In Mexico, the main reported allergens are Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, and these allergens vary between regions. Epidemiological studies are needed to characterize the main sources of allergens in each region. We do not currently have a study on allergen sensitization in pediatric patients. To calculate the prevalence of sensitization to allergens with skin tests in patients with suspicion of allergic disease in Children’s Hospital of the State of Sonora (CHSS). DESIGN: cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study where patients of both genders were recruited between the ages of 2 and 18 years, referred to Allergology service in CHSS, suspected of allergic disease from August 2016 to May 2017. A total of 125 patients were included, where a sensitization prevalence of 47.2% was obtained, the male-female ratio was 2.4: 1. The child age showed more sensitization, the most frequent age was at 5 years and the diagnosis that prevailed most was asthma, as well as the extramural allergens showed greater sensitization when compared to other allerge. The prevalence of sensitization in pediatric patients in our state is above the WHO statistics worldwide.
