A study on allergic asthma patients in the allergy clinic, KFHU, Al-Khobar
Allerg Immunol (Paris).
1991 Dec.
Abstract
A total of 68 patients' records visiting the Allergy Clinic of King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU) in Al-Khobar were reviewed. All patients were above the age of 15 years. Out of the 68 patients 37 were females while 30 were males. The record of one patient was missing and therefore, data could not be captured. IgE titres over 180 I.U. were detected in 32 patients out of 46 patients tested. Levels of Ig6, IgA + IgM were normal. Skin tests gave positive reactions to a variety of allergens mainly inhalants. These allergens are comparable to those occurring in other parts of the Kingdom. Family history of atopy was revealed in only less than 25% of patients.
