In recent years, an increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases has been reported, in industrialised countries. It is also a problem in non-industrialised countries, but its extent is less well documented. In this study, inhalant screening allergens (AlaTOP ® ), food screening allergens (FP5E ® ), and total and specific IgE were measured in 237 allergic patients (164 adults and 73 children) in order to examine the distribution of common allergens, the percentage of atopy/non-atopy among allergic children and adults in a developing country, Turkey, which has different environments and societies from western countries. We also evaluated the efficiency of automatic allergy screening tests in both groups. The sensitivity and specificity of AlaTOP ®  in adults were 83% and 86%, respectively; these were 70% and 84%, respectively for FP5E ® , and the sensitivity and specificity of AlaTOP ®  in children were 79% and 82%, while sensitivity and specificity of FP5E ®  were 72% and 85%, respectively.
