Sensitization to airborne allergens in the adult Cameroonian population
The prevalence of sensitization to airborne allergens in Cameroonian adults was 19.4%. Independent factors associated with sensitization to allergens included urban residence, current asthma, and current allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. These findings emphasize the need for public health strategies addressing sensitization to dust mite allergen in managing allergic diseases.
