Introduction

Allergic diseases arise from numerous substances (allergens) that are closely encountered in our environment, affecting the eyes, nose, skin, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and systemic conditions.
 
Common allergic diseases include bronchial asthma, chronic cough, exercise-induced allergies, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, allergic rhinitis, as well as urticaria, atopic dermatitis, anaphylactic shock, food allergies, drug allergies, insect venom allergies, and eosinophilia.
 
Moreover, the sick building syndrome, which has garnered much attention recently, is closely related to allergic diseases.
 
Identifying the causative allergens is crucial for preventing or treating allergic diseases. This can be achieved by removing allergens from the environment, enhancing immune function through immunotherapy, and using medications for effective treatment.
