The relationship among markers of allergy, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema
in Costa Rica

The association between allergy markers and asthma and allergic rhinitis is stronger in countries with a Western lifestyle than in rural areas of Africa and Asia. We examined the relationship among allergy markers, asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in a case‐control study of 198 schoolchildren, 10–13 yea...

Zusammenfassung:The association between allergy markers and asthma and allergic rhinitis is stronger in countries with a Western lifestyle than in rural areas of Africa and Asia. We examined the relationship among allergy markers, asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in a case‐control study of 198 schoolchildren, 10–13 years of age, living in Costa Rica, a Latin American country. The geometric mean total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) level in subjects with and without asthma was 465.0 and 143.0 IU/ml, respectively (difference = 322 IU/ml, 95% CI = 141.8–616.1 IU/ml, p
