Allergic diseases are common in childhood and can cause a significant morbidity and impaired quality-of-life of the children and their families. Adequate allergy testing is the prerequisite for optimal care, including allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy and immunotherapy. Children with persisting or recurrent or severe symptoms suggestive for allergy should undergo an appropriate diagnostic work-up, irrespective of their age. Adequate allergy testing may also allow defining allergic trigger in common symptoms. We provide here evidence-based guidance on when and how to test for allergy in children based on common presenting symptoms suggestive of allergic diseases.
变应性疾病在儿童中很常见，可导致儿童及其家庭发病率显著增加和生活质量受损。充分的变应原检测是实现最佳治疗的前提，包括避免接触变应原、药物治疗和免疫治疗。对于持续性、复发性或严重症状提示过敏的儿童，无论年龄大小，均应进行适当的诊断性检查。充分的变应原检测还可以确定常见症状中的过敏触发因素。我们根据常见的提示过敏疾病的症状，提供了关于何时以及如何在儿童中进行过敏检测的基于证据的指导。
