Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Allergies are known to be heredofamilial diseases. Which parent confers an allergy risk factor to the child is an unanswered question in India. Methods: 1353 consecutive patients suffering from one or more allergic diseases were included in this study. Patients were questioned regarding similar ailments in their family members and the results were analysed. Patients underwent a complete allergy workup, the results of which however, are not included in this study. Results: The results obtained from this study showed that in India, the son inherits the disease from the father and the daughter from the mother. These results are significant in patients suffering from allergic asthma as also in those suffering from allergic rhinitis with allergic conjunctivitis. Results were highly significant in patients having allergic rhinitis and in those suffering from allergic asthma with allergic rhinitis. In patients suffering from allergic asthma with allergic rhinitis with allergic conjunctivitis and in patients having allergic asthma with allergic rhinitis with atopic eczema, the results were very highly significant. Conclusions: In India, the son inherits allergic diseases from the father and the daughter from the mother. The statistical significance of this inheritance, increases when the child suffers from more than one allergic manifestation.
