Allergy in Russia today: problems and solutions

Abstract

The prevalence of allergic diseases worldwide is increasing dramatically in both developed and developing countries. Thus, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), allergic diseases affect up to 35% of the world's population. Allergopathology ranked 4th in terms of prevalence among all non-communicable diseases. In parallel, the severity of allergies is growing. According to experts from the World Allergy Organization (WAO), polyvalent sensitization is becoming more common, and allergies are becoming multi-organ.Due to ongoing air pollution and global warming, it is projected that up to half of Europe's population could suffer from allergic diseases by 2025.Allergic diseases not only affect the quality of life of patients and their loved ones, but also negatively affect the socio-economic well-being of society. Therefore, today allergic diseases should be considered as a global health problem.
