ABSTRACT
Objective: Allergic diseases (ADs) are a serious global public health problem affecting all age groups. Hundreds of millions suffer from ADs worldwide. We aimed to determine the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and eczema symptoms in school children aged 6-14 years in a tropical region in Southwestern Iran.

Material and Method: In 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional study using the Persian version of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire among two age groups (school children aged 6-7 and 13-14 years). The schools were randomly selected from Dezful City, Iran.

Results: Valid responses were obtained from 2908 participants. The prevalence of diagnosed asthma, AR, and eczema was 3.1% and 6.3%, 3.9% and 7.6%, and 4.5% and 7.1% among the 6-7 and 13-14 age groups, respectively. Also, the prevalence rates of diagnosed asthma, AR, and eczema in school children aged 6-14 years were 4.6%, 5.5%, and 5.8%, respectively. Regarding sex and age groups, the prevalence rates of AD symptoms were significantly higher in boys than in girls and in the 13-14 age group than in the 6-7 age group (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The prevalence of asthma, AR, and eczema was moderate in school children of Dezful City. Our study described the distribution of AD in school children in this region of Iran.
