To study the frequency of parasitosis among children with allergic diseases

The presence of parasitic invasion (PI) affects not only the prevalence of allergic diseases in the population, but also the severity of the clinical manifestations of the disease. The maximum detect ability of parasitic invasions is observed in children under 6–11 years of age, nematodes prevail in boys, and giardiasis occurs with the same frequency in boys and girls [7]. In patients with allergic rhinitis, giardiasis was also significantly more often detected-24 children (80.0%), 5 children suffered from ascariasis (16.7%), one child had a combined parasitic invasion (3.3%). Thus, the studied samples of children were comparable in gender, age and living conditions. The main group consisted of 100patients with bronchial asthma (37%), 100 (37%)-with allergic rhinitis, 70 (25.9%)-with atopic dermatitis.
