Learn about allergic asthma -- the signs, symptoms, and treatment -- to help prevent asthma attacks.
Self-reported rhinitis was based on symptoms during the past 12 months, and allergen sensitization was defined as a positive response to any of the 19 specific IgE antigens tested.Almost half of the population (43%) had detectable levels of IgE specific to at least one inhaled allergen and ...
Research relating environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposures have focused on childhood asthma. There have been fewer studies with conflicting results performed on associations of ETS exposures with allergic symptoms.

Significantly less food allergen sensitization was observed in participants in the highest cotinine tertile of secondhand smoke (PRR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.85). Conclusion Tobacco smoke exposure was associated with increased prevalence of rhinitis symptoms, but decreased prevalence of allergic ...
