ETIOLOGY OF ALLERGIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN IN WARM REGIONS

Abstract

Allergic diseases are among the most common diseases among the child population.
In recent years, the world has seen an increase in the development of allergic diseases (AD) in all age groups of the population, in particular the values of which range from 1–3% in adults and up to 10–24% of the child population. At the same time, the growth in the development of allergic diseases varies significantly in different countries, which may be important from the point of view of identifying risk factors for the development of diseases and methods of its prevention. In childhood, allergies most often occur when the body comes into contact with pollen, animal hair, certain medications, insects, cleaning and detergent chemicals, as well as highly allergenic foods (whole cow's milk, eggs, nuts, chocolate, honey). However, there are factors that significantly increase the risk of this pathology: a hereditary factor, poor environmental conditions in the region of residence. And also, the desire of parents to create “sterile conditions” for the child to live and the introduction of complementary foods too early, with the mother’s early refusal to breastfeed.
