The diagnosis in pediatric allergies is still a challenge, due to the age particularities and the increasing incidence. Objectives. The evaluation of the panel investigations as a diagnostic tool in children allergies. We enrolled children admitted in the Department of Pediatrics of the “Filantropia” Clinical Municipal Hospital, Craiova. We used also a control group without known history of atopy. Results. The results showed sensitizations to pneumallergens (mostly Dermatophagoides group) associated to asthma. The food allergies were identified in a few cases without correlation to the clinical findings.
