Abstract: Respiratory allergy affect noticeably the life quality of patients, and increase the pressure on the health system, detecting undiagnosed allergy and identification of allergens, play a major role in both avoidance and pharmaceutical management of the patients. This research hope to answer two basic questions: To what degree allergy could be a comorbid in patients who are not diagnosed with asthma or allergic rhinitis? And what are the inhalant allergens that mostly affecting the respiratory ill patient in the east Mediterranean region? A total of 840 patients diagnosed with asthma, allergic rhinitis or other respiratory conditions were tested for total IgE and inhalant specific IgE, a retrospective collection of the patient’s diagnosis and laboratory results were statically analyzed. Treating the data has given the following results: 1- respiratory patients diagnosed with other than asthma or allergic rhinitis showed a relatively high level of total IgE justifying more regular screening, 2- Pet`s epithelia, mites and cockroaches (all indoor allergens) are by far the mostly findings in respiratory ill patients, 3- no significant variation in specific IgE found with different diagnosis.
