Respiratory Allergies
In the pulmonary clinic, specialized evaluation is carried out for allergies that affect the respiratory system,
such as allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Targeted skin prick tests are performed for inhaled allergens associated with cough, shortness of breath,
or nasal symptoms.
Which allergies are investigated
• Allergic Asthma
– Episodes of coughing or shortness of breath after exposure to pollen, dust, mold, animal dander, or humidity.
• Allergic Rhinitis
– Sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, watery eyes, especially in spring or in enclosed spaces.
• Respiratory Atopy
– Increased sensitivity of the respiratory system to environmental factors, not always with positive test results.
How the evaluation is performed in the clinic
The approach includes:
- Detailed medical history and assessment of environmental triggers.
- Skin prick tests only for inhaled allergens (pollens, dust mites, fungi, animal epithelia/dander).
- Spirometry to assess lung function and to support a possible diagnosis of allergic asthma.
- Guidance on prevention and allergen avoidance for better symptom control.
What follows after the diagnosis
- Confirmation or exclusion of an allergic mechanism underlying the respiratory symptoms.
- Development of an individualized treatment plan (medication, environmental measures).
- Scheduled follow-up for stable disease control.
The goal is to improve breathing and prevent exacerbations in patients with allergic asthma or rhinitis.
