Two hundred and ninety-three normal schoolchildren between 5 and 15 years old living in the hills of Eastern Nepal were tested by the skin prick method for sensitivity to six allergens: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Aspergillus fumigatus. Cladosporium herbarum, Penicillium notatum, mixed pollens and mixed threshings. These children were also questioned and examined for symptoms and signs relating to allergic disease. Of the children, 20% were skin-prick positive to at least one of the allergens, and 20% had symptoms of allergic disease, but there was no relationship between the symptoms and the prick test results. No relationship was found between the prick test results and any of the following: the length of time a child was breast-fed; the age of the child and his month of birth. Of the boys, 19% admitted to smoking cigarettes, as did 11% of the girls.
对生活在尼泊尔东部山区的293名5至15岁的师范学校儿童，采用皮肤点刺法检测了他们对六种变应原的敏感性，这六种变应原分别是：屋尘螨、烟曲霉、草本枝孢菌、青霉、混合花粉和混合谷物。还对这些儿童进行了询问，并检查了与过敏性疾病相关的症状和体征。在这些儿童中，20%对至少一种变应原皮肤点刺呈阳性，20%有过敏性疾病症状，但症状与点刺试验结果之间没有关系。点刺试验结果与以下任何一项均无关系：儿童母乳喂养的时长；儿童的年龄及其出生月份。男孩中有19%承认吸烟，女孩中有11%承认吸烟。
