“…En países asiáticos, la prevalencia de RA y DA en población infantil y adolescente es de aproximadamente 20 %, 2,3,4 aunque hay regiones que pueden alcanzar hasta 30 %. 5 En Europa, 34 y 10 % de los adolescentes padecen RA y DA, respectivamente; 6,7 cifras similares han sido identifi cadas en el continente africano. 8 En contraste, en Latinoamérica, los adolescentes tempranos muestran cifras que van de 8 a 38 % de RA y 6 a 22 % de DA.…”

“…14 La prevalencia de la RA y DA también varía según el sexo; hay países donde predomina en las mujeres 3,4 y otros no existe tal predominio. 7 Tal inconsistencia también ha sido documentada en Latinoamérica, donde hay regiones en las cuales estas enfermedades predominan en las mujeres 9,10,12 y otras donde los hombres son los más afectados. 14 Con estos antecedentes y al considerar la escasa evidencia en torno a estas enfermedades alérgicas en los adolescentes tardíos, nuestra investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las prevalencias de RA y DA en ese grupo de la población y compararlas según el sexo.…”

Antecedentes: En México son escasos los estudios encaminados a establecer la prevalencia de la rinitis alérgica y la dermatitis atópica en adolescentes tardíos.Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de rinitis alérgica y dermatitis atópica en adolescentes tardíos y compararla conforme el sexo.Métodos: Estudio transversal de 1992 adolescentes de 15 a 18 años, reclutados mediante muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados, estratificado y aleatorizado. Las prevalencias de rinitis alérgica y dermatitis atópica se identificaron con el cuestionario propuesto en The Internacional Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood.Resultados: Se incluyeron 1056 mujeres (53 %) y 936 hombres (47 %). La prevalencia de rinitis alérgica fue de 9.0 % (IC 95 % = 7.8-10.4); la frecuencia fue mayor en las mujeres (6.7 % versus 11.1 %, p = 0.001). Los síntomas de rinitis más conjuntivitis predominaron en las mujeres (16.0 % versus 23.1 %, p < 0.0001). La prevalencia de dermatitis atópica fue de 5.2 % (IC 95 % = 4.3-6.2); fue más frecuente en las mujeres (7.7 % versus 2.4 %, p < 0.0001). Los principales factores asociados con rinitis alérgica y dermatitis atópica fueron sexo femenino y atopia familiar (p < 0.001).Conclusiones: Se registró diferencia significativa en la prevalencia de rinitis alérgica y dermatitis atópica conforme el sexo en los adolescentes tardíos; las mujeres fueron las más afectadas. La atopia familiar fue otro factor asociado.

“…The health effects of climate change are causing an increase in the prevalence of allergic respiratory diseases, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and premature mortality (Katotomichelakis M., et al, 2016). Climate change associated with the greenhouse effect is causing adverse health effects among the most vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, children and those in socioeconomic strata in distress (D'Amato G., et al, 2015; D'Amato G., et al, 2016).…”

Background: Today, the number of allergy is increasing in industrialized countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies allergic diseases to be the fourth in the world of affections. The frequency of respiratory allergy including asthma and allergic rhinitis due to pollen is increasing in the young and urban dwellers in developed countries. The prevention and management of allergy in universities is an area of active interest because allergies and asthma rates among young people continue to increase. The allergic reactions are less serious whereas they can develop into a serious form of asthma and anaphylaxis that can endanger life and require immediate medical care. A better understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of allergy can help guide to strategy of management against development of allergic rhinitis, asthma and anaphylaxis within and outside academic institutions in order to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study was carried out for a characterization of pollen allergy and its relation with the environment in the university establishment in order to propose strategy of management against this disease. Methods: The project was to study pollen allergy in FPBM in an effective sample of 529 randomly chosen within a range of about 7,000 students. A survey was made for a descriptive studies. Results: The percentage of students allergic to pollen surveyed in the FPBM was 39%. This percentage was within the confidence interval of all students in the allergic FPBM [35%; 44%] estimated 5% error risk. This results prove that our sample was representative. We also found that the most common symptoms of pollen allergy among its students are the nasal symptoms (sneezing and nasal itching). These symptoms characterize allergic rhinitis. Our study shows that the olive tree is the main allergen causing pollen allergy in the region. This study shows that most students have allergies in the spring season; this could be explained by the pollinisation of olive tree in this period. Our study shows that the majority of surveyed students are allergic to one or two types of plants and the cross-reactivity between pollen and food was the most dominant. Conclusion:The case reported here is particularly interesting because, to the best of our knowledge, high percentage of allergy to the pollen in the region Beni Mellal-Khenifra has not reported before. Olive tree was the main allergen, this can be explained by the richness of the region of Beni-Mellal-Khénifra with this plant. These results are unexpected; normally these youngsters must present a resistance to the pollen present in the region because they are native and have an adaptation to the environment. But we find an almost quarter of the young people surveyed in the area present the allergy. This allows us to ask several questions about the relationship between environment and the development of allergy.
