Özet

Alerjik hastalıklar dünya çapında önemli bir morbidite nedenidir ve hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan ekonomilerin sağlık ve tıbbi sistemlerine önemli bir yük oluşturmaktadır. Alerjik hastalıklar için tıbbi tavsiye almak isteyen hastaların çoğunluğu öncelikle birinci basamağa başvurmaktadır. Alerjisi olan çoğu hasta, uygun tedavi, tavsiye ve korunma yöntemleriyle, etken alerjenin tanımlanmasına gerek kalmaksızın, birinci basamakta yönetilebilir. Alerjik hastalıkların yönetiminde öncelikle iyi bir öykü alınmalı ve fizik muayene yapılmalıdır. Eğer, medikal tedavi ile hastanın semptomları geçmezse veya alerjenin saptanmasının hastanın tedavisine fayda sağlayacağı düşünülürse, alerji testleri yapılması gerekebilir.
