Sensitization Patterns to Aeroallergens and Food Allergens Among Children with Atopic Asthma in Southwestern Saudi Arabia

This study demonstrates a high prevalence of aeroallergen and food sensitization among children with atopic asthma in Southwestern Saudi Arabia, with distinct sensitization patterns and associated comorbidities. Aeroallergen sensitization, particularly to dust mites, was associated with increased asthma morbidity, highlighting the importance of comprehensive sensitization assessment in this population. While limited by its retrospective design, this study provides valuable insights into the interplay between sensitization and childhood asthma, informing future research and clinical practice.
