Asthma is a multi-factorial disease. Exercise, industrial and occupational agents, weather changes, viral infections, medications (e.g., aspirin), emotions, tobacco smoke and particulate matter may all trigger symptoms of asthma. Allergens are an important aspect to consider in the management of asthma, but allergens are not the only triggers that need to be controlled.In patients with asthma, there is a trend toward a lower correlation between asthma symptoms and allergy with increasing age. It is estimated that 90 percent of children with asthma have allergic disease; sensitivities include house-dust mites (50 a 60% of patients), animal dander (20 a 25%), pollens (20 a 30%) and molds (3 to 10%) Therefore, when possible, skin testing or RAST or Immunoblot testing is essential to define the allergic component of asthma, and these data should be used to direct appropriate environmental changes. Multiple studies have been performed stressing the importance of avoidance measures and techniques to accomplish avoidance in persons with asthma. However, even those measures asthmatic patients have not significant relief of their symptoms. The use of specific immunotherapy seems have at recent knowledge a better view in asthma treatment.
