Purpose: It is important to identify allergens responsible for reducing symptoms in allergic diseases and improving the quality of life. Therefore, we aimed at assessing the sensitivity and frequency of aeroallergens in allergic patients in our region. Tools and Methods: The study included 1078 patients (2-18 years of age) who applied to the pediatric allergy immunology clinic between September 2017 and March 2018. The clinical and demographic characteristics of 642 patients with at least one allergic sensitivity in the skin prick test, total IgE levels, peripheral eosinofil numbers in the blood, aeroallergic sensitivities were evaluated as retrospective from the patient files. The study was approved by the Local Ethics Board of the Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University School of Medicine. Results: in 642 patients (59 percent). A positive response to at least one aeroallergen was observed. 34.8 percent of patients had asthma, 73.7 percent had allergic rinitis, 12.6 percent had atopic dermatitis and 3 percent had chronic urethritis. 159 (24.8%) of the patients were diagnosed with more than one allergic disease. 368 patients with a positive skin prick test (57.3%) were male and 274 (42.7%) were angry. The average age was 8.49±4.15 years. The most common sensitivity was detected (76.1 per cent). The second majority was the sensitivity of cabbage mushrooms (51.8% Alternaria alternata, 41.7% Claudosporum herbarum) and the third majority was the grass and cereal pollen (39.8%). Other frequencies of aeroallergic sensitivity were identified as wild herbal pollen mixture (24.6 percent), tree pollen mixture (21.7 percent), cabbage (17.8 percent), cat cabbage (31.2 percent), olive tree (20 percent). The average serum total IgE level is 215. 6 IU/ml and the average eozinofil number was 410.63/mm3. Result: Detection of allergens responsible for allergic diseases is important for the monitoring of symptoms and for the possibility of immunotherapy in selected cases to change the course of the disease.
