Sensitization profiles of aeroallergens among allergic rhinitis patients in China: A 13-year multicenter retrospective study.

A 13-year multicenter retrospective study was conducted on patients with allergic rhinitis. All the patients underwent SPT containing a panel of 19 aeroallergens. We concluded that house dust mite was the most common allergen, the sensitization rate to animal dander trended upward in the past decades and a panel of five allergens was sufficient to identify over 95% of the sensitized patients. Abbreviations: SPT, skin prick test.
