Abstract
The clinical presentation of cat and dog allergy vary from discomfort caused by rhinoconjuncitivitis to severe asthma. Exposure to allergens from these animals is ubiquitous and allergic sensitization to cat or dog affect up to 25% of all children and adults, but allergic sensitization does not always cause symptoms. The introduction of molecular-based allergy diagnostics has improved the possibility to characterize the allergic patient in greater detail. However, the full clinical potential of using molecular allergology in the diagnosis, characterization and treatment of patients with allergy to cats and dogs has not yet been established, although significant progress has been made during the last decade, which will be reviewed in detail in this paper.
