included in this study, divided into 3 age groups (6-10, 11-14, and 15-19) years submitted to a questionnaire with evaluation of
both total igE and specific igE antibodies to House Dust mite levels.
the results were arranged in figures and tables and given as mean ± sD, values and data were analyzed using sPss version 14.
the differences between the study’s groups were tested by using (AnOVA). P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
male children were 270 (54%), 229 (46%) were female children, 290 of them live in urban area while only 209 live in rural area,
there is a significant relationship between sD of specific igE levels and total igE in asthmatic children with a P value (0.000) and
this relationship were significant in relation to positive family history with a p value= 0.003.
Even many Population studies have shown an association between prevalence of asthma and total serum immunoglobulin E (igE)
levels independent of specific reactivity to common allergens, this study found that there is a significant relationship between the
total igE levels and the specific igE levels in asthmatic children and both total igE and specific igE levels are high in asthmatic
children with positive family history of asthma.

this study was carried out in group of 639 children (298 girls and 341 boys), children aged 2 to 18 years .
they were divided into 3 groups:
1- (2 – 5 years old: 205 children)
2- (> 5 – 13 years old: 289 children)
3- (> 13 – 18 years old: 145 children)
A sPt* used 6 aeroallergens: domestic moth, rot fungus (mould mixing**), grass mix pollen, cat dander, olive pollen, grain pollen***.
521 (81.53 %) were reactive to at least one of the aeroallergens. Among the sPt-positive patients, a positive prick-test reaction to
the house dust mites (87.33 %) was most common followed by mould (42.80 %) , 5 grasses mixing (34.35 %) , olive pollen (32.82
%) , cat dander (30.13 %) , 4-cereals pollen (21.88 %).
therefore, it appears that the prevelance of sPt reactivity to common aero allergens is high among lattakian allergic children,
particularly in those with asthma and in all age groups.

BACKgrOUnD: asthma is the most common chronic childhood illness. the kids patient exhibits prolonged expirations, increased
use of accessory muscles for breathing, barrel chest, tachypnea, cyanosis, wheezing, exertional dyspnea, scattered rhonchi, coarse
crackles and late-stage clubbing.Colds are caused by many types of viruses causing virtually the same symptoms.
mEtHODs: the main issue in diagnosis is differentiating respiratory viruses, which cause most cases, from bacterial infection such
as pneumonia comparing with asthma , which would benefit from treatment with antibiotics, and from influenza, for which antivirals
are effective. gram stain of the sputum is necessary in all but the most severe cases of asthma and other respiratory diseases such
as upper and lower respiratory infection .
rEsUlts: the severity of the asthma will depend on the amount of lung tissue involved and type of pneumonia or severity chronic
obstructive lung disease in children. During period 2005-2009, 8864 children with respiratory syncytial virus, 625 with influenza
virus, 1813 with parainfluenza virus, and 1902 with adenoviruses were evaluated in connection with asthma at Primary Children’s
medical Center sarajevo, First medical Aid and Pediatrics Clinic sarajevo.
DisCUssiOn: the diagnostic labeling of presumed nonbacterial upper and lower respiratory tract infection is unclear.
