ABSTRACT
Epidemiologic data have shown an increased prevalence (and severity) of atopy related diseases (asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis) during the post 15-20 years. Atopic respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma represent the effects of an immunological response to allergens, mediated through immunoglobulins E. Development of a clinically significant atopic reaction depends on environmental exposure. The majority of allergic children display positive skin tests to house dust mites, animal danders or pollens. Immediate hypersensitivity to food allergens starts early in life and is most often associated with atopic dermatitis. Allergic reactions to peanuts are generally acute and severe, with an increasing frequency. Parents must be aware of their child's problem and preventive measures must be undertaken very early in life, first at home and later also at school. Family history remains the best predictor of atopy in newborn babies.
