Individual prediction of allergic diseases in children

The use of sequential Wald analysis with the study of a number of anamnestic and clinical signs in the presence of predisposing and etiological factors makes it possible to predict allergic diseases before they occur. When summarizing the prognostic coefficients in children with early manifestations of exudative-catarrhal diathesis, the possibility of developing respiratory allergy or allergic dermatosis was established. A prognostic table for allergic dermatoses and respiratory allergies has been compiled. A definite conclusion was given for 158 children out of 212; in 54 children, the outcome of the initial manifestations of exudative diathesis was uncertain.
