[Air-borne allergens and respiratory allergy in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico].

Abstract

138 patients from the state of Oaxaca, México, 75 male, 62 female, with an average age of 29 years with diagnosis of asthma rhinitis and sinusitis, were studied to determine the frequency of aeroallergens involved. Scratch tests were carried out with glycerinated antigens, 1:20 w/v Hollister S.
