There were 27 children tested on standard inhalation allergens. The number of children till one year old was 7, from one year till two years old were 8 children, and from two till three years of age were 12 children. Six children in the first group had a positive response to the histamine, only one child had a positive finding on house duct (urtica 5 mm, and histamine 2 mm). In the second group, from one till two years all children had histamine positive finding. Two children had positive finding on house dust, three of them had positive finding on dermatophagoides pteronisimus, while one child was positive on fungus. The remaining three children had regular finding. In the third group all children had positive finding on histamine, eight children were positive on house dust, three of them on dermatophagoides pteronisimus and one child on grass pollen. We think that the age of children is not a limit to application of allergy tests as a part of allergy examinations.
