ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Report the prevalence and severity of the most common allergic diseases in children living in Monterrey, México.

METHODS:

Cross-sectional multi-center survey on the most common allergic diseases, completed by parents of 6-7-year-old children and by 13-14- year-old adolescents in the Monterrey metropolitan area, between January 2018 and December 2019.
