Investigation of Allergic Sensitizations in Children With Allergic Rhinitis and/or Asthma
ObjectiveAllergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are becoming one of the most prevalent diseases in children. Identifying sensitization to aeroallergens is seemed to be valuable for diagnosing allergic disease and guiding its treatment. This study aimed to analyze the profiles of sensitization to aeroallergen in children with AR and/or asthma by skin prick ...
