Demographic\n data, clinical features, and laboratory findings were evaluated from the patients' records.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Of 7428 SPTs performed, 566 patients (7.6%) were sensitized to cat allergen (56% boys; median age, 11 years). Fifty-eight percent of the patients (n = 329) presented during\n the pandemic period, 44.5% (n = 252) had symptoms with cat exposure, and 9% (n = 51\/566) had anaphylaxis. Allergic rhinitis and asthma were present in 76% (n = 431) and 46.6% (n = 264) of the patients, respectively. When compared to prepandemic period, patients who presented during the pandemic\n had higher rates of cat sensitization (15% in pandemic group versus 4.4% in prepandemic group of all SPTs performed; p &lt; 0.05), cat ownership (29.1% versus 13.9%; p &lt; 0.001), and symptoms on cat exposure (51% versus 34%; p &lt; 0.001). Factors that predicted symptom development in the\n patients who were cat sensitized were induration &gt; 5 mm on SPT (odds ratio [OR] 1.9 [95% confidence interval {95% CI}], 1.1\u20103.2), cat ownership (OR 9.2 [95% CI, 4.9\u201017.3]), close contact with a cat owner (OR 7.1 [95% CI, 4\u201012]), allergic rhinitis (OR 3.1 [95% CI, 1.6\u20105.8]),\n conjunctivitis (OR 4.7 [95% CI, 2\u201010]), and atopic dermatitis (OR 2.2 [95% CI, 1\u20104.7]).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We observed an increase in the prevalence of cat allergy among children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
