[The prevalence of sensitization to cockroaches. Experience of an allergy service].
Revista Alergia Mexico : Organo Oficial de la Sociedad Mexicana de Alergia e Inmunología, A.C 2020 July
BACKGROUND: Allergy skin prick tests are important tools for the diagnosis of respiratory allergic diseases. Cockroach antigens have been identified as the cause of rhinitis, asthma, and other allergic diseases.
OBJECTIVE: To show that the cockroach antigen participates in the cause of allergic diseases.
METHODS: A retrolective and cross-sectional study was carried out, for which clinical records and history of atopy were reviewed; the results were obtained from blood biometry, nasal cytology, total IgE, and coproparasitoscopic serial tests. After prior informed consent, skin tests were applied in 3-74 year-old patients.
RESULTS: 1,837 patients were studied; the prevalence of cutaneous reactivity to the cockroach antigen was of 17.90%; 56% of the patients had a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, and only 6% had been diagnosed with asthma and rhinitis.
CONCLUSION: The application of the cockroach antigen in skin tests must be considered in the practice of all allergists.
