“…The author showed that among 100 children aged 5-14 and suffering from asthma that participated in the study, 54 manifested the symptoms of the allergy to house dust mites [25,26]. Moreover, another study conducted in Bengo Province in Angola, wherein children aged 5-14 were subjected to cross-sectional observations from September to November, 82 out of 1023 children had a positive SPT (skin prick test) result for aeroallergens, while 70.2% of 92 positive SPT were positive for house dust mites [27]. Inhaled polyallergy is also quite common in the paediatric population, mainly in older children.…”

In Africa, very few studies have been done in rural areas [ 12 , 13 ]. While it is believed that allergy prevalence is lower in rural areas due to lifestyle and environment factors in low and high income countries, the situation could be changing [ 3 , 14 ].…”
