Allergies affect some people particularly prone to develop this type of disease. These people, called atopic, manufacture large quantities of antibodies against certain allergens. Their awareness is included in their genetic heritage, transmitted by their parents through their chromosomes.
These people may also transmit their awareness of their descendants.
Atopy
A person may not atopic systematically develop allergic disease. More preventive measures will be implemented early, and the less it is likely to present allergic manifestations.
By cons, we find the last few years, especially with pollen, an increase in the number of people who have no land allergic atopic
The risks for children
If a mother is allergic, the risk of seeing demonstrations allergic to her child is 30 to 40%.
If he is the father, this risk will be 30%
2 If the parents are allergic, the risk is 70 to 80%.
It is therefore essential to systematically seek a history of allergy in the family in a person with chronic manifestations, rhinitis, cough, asthma, eczema….
A review allergologique at an allergist will identify the allergen and putting in roads all appropriate therapeutic strategies.
