Abstract
Background The role of aeroallergens in the sensitization and progression of allergies is significant and differs in different geographical regions. The aim of this study is to recognize the potential aero allergens and the degree of poly sensitization that are responsible for causing naso bronchial allergies in Kashmir. Materials & Methods 555 patients were recruited for this study from Allergy Clinic, Sher-i- Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences. A standard prick test panel consisting of aeroallergens, dust mites, Fungi, pollens, dust mixture, epithelia & insects was used along with positive and negative control. Results: Skin prick test results showed negative results in 47 patients, while remaining 508 showed positive results. All the patients showed poly sensitization to various allergens; with dust mite and pollens as the most common allergens. Conclusions This study helped to understand the role of poly sensitization to common allergens responsible for respiratory allergy to plan allergen specific immunotherapy in such patients.
