In June 1984 we wrote to all 1,594 Registered French Respiratory Specialists in the medical directory, with a questionnaire to determine their diagnostic and therapeutic activity in the field of allergy. In September 1984 a second letter with the same questionnaire was sent to these Physicians who had not replied to the first. Finally in October 1984 a random sample of 21 Physicians who had not replied to the two letters were contacted by telephone. Among the 1,594 letters initially, 232 were to people not involved in the field of inquiry (Deceased doctors, those retired or not thoracic Physicians) or had not reached the address. After excluding this group, the level of response was established at 74% for the first delivery and 33% for second or 84% overall. Among 1,114 respondents overall, 79% admitted to activity in allergy varying from 55% in the Paris Region to a maximum of 92% in the South-East. The differences were less pronounced when the age of the physicians was allowed for. The most used diagnostic means are skin tests (90%), total IgE (68.6%) and specific IgE (57%) far ahead of non-specific bronchial provocation tests (20%) and specific tests (14.6%). Two hundred and sixty thoracic Physicians had no activity in the field of allergy.
