Abstract
Patterns of allergen sensitization among innercity Hispanic asthmatic children resemble those among African American children, a finding that is likely explained by the similarity in levels of environmental exposures. With the increasing prevalence of asthma among innercity Hispanic children, skin testing should be used frequently for objective evaluation of asthma in this ethnic group.
