“…According to the latest studies, the increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases has plateaued in developed countries, but is still continuing in developing countries [5,6]. However, studies that evaluate the change in the prevalence of allergic diseases in the long term are limited within the literature [6,7,8,9,10]. …”

Background: Although it is known that there has been an increase in asthma and allergic diseases among school-aged children, results vary between countries. The aim of this study was to examine trends in the prevalence of these diseases in the city of Adana (south Turkey) over the last 20 years based on the results of 3 cross-sectional studies. Methods: Three cross-sectional surveys were performed 10 years apart in south Turkey. Here, we compare the surveys conducted among children between the ages of 6 and 14 years from 1994, 2004, and 2014. The participants were randomly chosen among children attending participating primary schools in Adana. The questionnaire in the first survey contained almost the same questions as the ISAAC. In the 2 latter surveys, we used the ISAAC questionnaire to investigate the prevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases. Results: A total of 2,334 children in 1994, 3,728 children in 2004, and 3,209 children in 2014 were included in the final analysis. The results showed a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of physician-diagnosed allergic diseases across the years, respectively: asthma (5, 4.6, and 8.9%), allergic rhinitis (8.8, 11.4, and 15.6%), and atopic dermatitis (5, 9.9, and 7%). In contrast, the prevalence of parent-reported current wheeze (16.2, 13.2%) decreased in the last 10 years. Conclusions: Our findings were consistent with the increased prevalence of childhood asthma and other allergic diseases. However, this pattern did not occur in respiratory symptoms.

“…A study using the ISAAC quiz, the same as that used in this study, evaluated the prevalence of eczema and other allergies in seven Brazilian capitals, where a discordant result was observed, with a median prevalence based on medical diagnosis among 5.6%, in which Belém-Pará presented the highest rate, with 7.9% and Aracaju-Sergipe the lowest, with 3.4% (36). However, in the cohort study developed by Solé et al (36), one can notice a large difference between the self-reported prevalence and the prevalence of medical diagnosis, where the self-reported rate of eczema averaged 9.1%, suggesting the need for new studies with the population studied here to explanation the high rate, since that sampling was for convenience, only for the diagnostic survey of the data presented here and discussed.…”

Respiratory allergies may develop at any age, but the onset are more frequent in childhood and juvenile population due to genetic factors and to development of the immune system, which may presents as rhinitis and/or asthma. In Brazil, asthma is the second cause of hospital admission in children aged four to nine years old and the third in adolescents. Exposure to pathogens, particularly helminths, and their products are common in developing countries, and it appears to protect against the development of autoimmune and allergic diseases in experimental and human models. Based on these data, the present study investigated the presence of allergic conditions, infection by intestinal parasites and symptomatology on the juvenile population of the rural area of Santo Antônio de Jesus (Bahia -Brazil), from July to October, 2015. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate asthma and allergic symptoms and the parasitological feces exam was performed in 47 individuals. The study identified 81% of the positive samples for at least one parasite species; 45% polyparasitism; and the prevalence to Endolimax nana (48%) and hookworms (39%); eczema as the predominant allergic manifestation (34%) and headache, fatigue after physical activity, urticaria, itching in the head and nervousness as the most frequent signs and symptoms. The prevalence of enteroparasites, respiratory allergy and the symptoms associated with each of them are present in the studied population, and it may be related not only to the infection, but also to the presence of previous or overlapping diseases.

“…Ainda que não exista nenhuma revisão sistemática ou metanálise sobre a epidemiologia da asma no Brasil publicada até o momento, há um bom número de estudos de âmbito nacional publicados nos últimos anos, os quais permitem uma comparação adequada com os dados deste relatório [56][57][58][59][60][61] . Desses, quatro artigos abordam objetivamente a prevalência da asma na população brasileira, sendo três conduzidos com amostras compostas por crianças e adolescentes 56,57,59 e um por indivíduos adultos 61 .…”

As principais estimativas nacionais de prevalência de asma entre adolescentes são bastante consistentes entre si 56,57,59 . Em adolescentes de 13-14 anos, a estimativa de prevalência de sintomas de asma varia entre 17,5-23,2%, enquanto a prevalência de asma clinicamente diagnosticada varia entre 12,4-14,3%.…”
