Abstract
Summary
Prevalence of the Anisakis Simplex's (AS) sensitization in children sensitized to Dermatophagoides pteronissynus (DP) is not known, neither it is to which percentage it might be due to cross-reactivity. The primary objective of the present retrospective cross-sectional study is to evaluate the prevalence of sensitization to AS in children sensitized or allergic to DP. Secondary outcomes were the prevalence of cross-reactivity and clinical relevance of the condition. The prevalence of sensitization to AS differs significantly among patients sensitized and not to DP (13.43% vs. 3.80%; p=0.019). The higher prevalence is mainly due to cross-reactivity with Der p10 (OR=8.86; 95% CI=4.33-40.74; p=0.0001). Currently, the sensitization to AS seems to have no clinical relevance in the pediatric population.
