Astma predstavlja veliki zdravstveni problem širom sveta. Poslednjih decenija je uočen porast u prevalenciji i incidenciji astme u pedijatrijskom uzrastu. To je hronična inflamatorna bolest koja se klinički karakteriše rekurentnim respiratornim simptomima, dispnejom, stezanjem u grudima i kašljem.Simptomi su često praćeni reverzibilnim ograničenjem protoka vazduha kroz disanje puteve. U rutinskoj kliničkoj praksi dijagnostika astme u dečjem uzrastu postavlja se na osnovu anamneze, fizikalnog pregleda, odgovora na bronhodilatatore, alergološkog testiranja i ispitivanja plućnih funkcija. Alergološki testovi su primarna dijagnostička metoda u alergologiji. U kliničkoj dijagnostici se najčešće izvodi prick test (PT), zbog svoje osetljivosti, specifičnosti, reproducibilnosti i dobre korelacije sa nivoom serumskog IgE i bronhijalnom reagibilnošću. Istraživanje je preduzeto s ciljem da se utvrdi učestalost pozitivnog nalaza alergijskih kožnih testova na alergene u dece obolele od astme, obzirom da je alergološko ispitivanje jedan od kriterijuma za postavljanje dijagnoze. Ispitivano je 25-oro dece iz kontrolne grupe i 75-oro dece sa astmom. Podelu na grupe vršili smo prema težini astme i tako oformili tri grupe: deca sa lakom, srednje teškom i teškom astmom. Pozitivne kožne probe uočene su u 44,0% dece u kontrolnoj grupi, 84,0% dece sa lakom astmom, 88,0% dece sa sredenje teškom astmom i kod sve dece sa teškom astmom. Najčešće pozitivne probe su na Dermatophagoides: u grupi dece sa teškom astmom 92,0%, sa srednje teškom astmom 75,0% i sa lakom astmom 63,3%, dok su pozitivni testovi na druge alergene bili zastupljeni u manjem procentu.
