The present work studied the importance of allergy in a population of 41 asthmatics in Benin, using specific IgE measurement by RAST. Specific serum IgE to different allergens has been found in 80% of all cases. Reactions were frequently positive when grass pollens were used and more than half of the patients were sensitive to mites. Standard commercial reagents were used for the tests. Africa-specific allergens were not used in the study, but it is probable that in Western Africa the same allergens as in Europe man be found, or at least those with common allergenic determinants.
