A complete medical history was obtained and allergology workup was carried out with skin prick tests as appropriate for each case. Risk factors were assessed by means of multivariate analysis.Results: A total of 674 patients were included, out of which 382 (52.7%) were males. Median age was 34 months. The reasons for consultation were cough or recurrent wheezing (54.3%), rhinitis (48.7%), and eczema (32.2%). Skin prick tests were performed with aeroallergens in 299 patients (48%) and with food in 170 (27%), with positivity being found in 114 (38%) and 16 (9.4%), respectively. Main sensitizers were dust mites and egg. A direct association was found between eczema and prematurity (OR = 0.496; 95\u00a0% CI = 0.289-0.823)], between recurrent cough\/wheezing and family history of allergy (OR = 1.837; 95\u00a0% CI = 1,306-2,586), and between recurrent cough\/wheezing and history of bronchiolitis (OR = 2.646; 95\u00a0% CI = 1.812-3.886).Conclusion: Respiratory symptoms represented the main cause of consultation. Dust mites were the most commonly identified allergens. Family history of allergy and bronchiolitis appear to risk factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.29262\/ram.v65i1.343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,2]],"date-time":"2018-05-02T19:56:02Z","timestamp":1525290962000},"page":"52-60","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Caracterizaci\u00f3n de los ni\u00f1os menores de cinco a\u00f1os con sospecha de enfermedades al\u00e9rgicas","Characterization of children younger than five years with suspected allergic diseases"],"prefix":"10.29262","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6345-2720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura del Mar","family":"V\u00e1squez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3239-8928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Olaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7321-2045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Cleves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6357-0252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Fernando","family":"Ram\u00edrez-Zuluaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1238-8260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Serrano Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"11808","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]]},"container-title":["Revista Alergia M\u00e9xico"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/343\/2523","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/343\/851","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/343\/679","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/343\/2523","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]],"date-time":"2025-04-09T15:48:43Z","timestamp":1744213723000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/view\/343"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29262\/ram.v65i1.343","relation":{},"ISSN":["2448-9190","0002-5151"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2448-9190"},{"type":"print","value":"0002-5151"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]]}}}
