Abstract
Most elderly asthmatic patients followed up in our tertiary center were atopic and higher values of total serum IgE suggest atopy. Atopy was inversely correlated with age of asthma onset. The diagnosis of allergic asthma in the elderly population is essential to treat patients more properly, improving their quality of life and decreasing asthma morbidity and mortality.
