| Abstract | Allergens cause different sign and symptoms in patients with allergic disorders. In order to determine the common allergens among patients with allergic disorders in Zahedan City, center of Sistan-Blouchestan province, this study was performed. Eight hundred and ninety-four patients who referred to Immunology and Allergy Medical Center of Khatam Hospital during 36 months period (2000-2003) was studied. Skin-prick tests (SPTs) to common allergens were performed in all of the patients. Eight hundred and ninety-four patients (382 male and 512 female), aged 2-70 years, had allergic disorders. The most frequent allergic disease was rhinitis, seen in 481 patients (53.8%). The other common disorders were asthma in 215 patients (24.1%), and urticaria in 137 cases (15.3%). Among the SPT-positive patients, a positive prick test reaction to the house dust mites (86.4%), Feathers (75.5%), and Aspergillus (51.1%) was most common, followed by Cladosporium (39.8%), Alternaria (37.9%), Trees (37.7%), Penicillium (36.6%), Weeds (34.9%), and Fruits (31.2%). Also, 23.8% of the subjects were sensitized to Grasses in the prick test, Hen's egg (21.8%), Walnut (16.7), Cow's milk (14.4%), Beef meat (11.6%), and Hazel nut (8.6%) accounting for other positive reactions.
