Aims: To evaluate the pattern of skin prick test results of atopic dermatitis patients. Study: This was a retrospective study. Data were collected for the results of skin prick tests for atopic dermatitis patients who attended the King Abdul Aziz University Medical Services Dermatology clinic in Jeddah Saudi Arabia between October 2010 and November 2012 Results: A total of 63 cases were collected. The rate of sensitization was 85.7% (54 out of 63). Most of them had been sensitized to more than one allergen (77.8%). Most of the patients were sensitized to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farina (80% and 74% respectively). Less commonly they were sensitized to cat fur (44%) and to cockroaches (37%). Conclusion: House dust mite, cats and cockroaches allergens appear to be the most prevalent sensitizers in atopic dermatitis patients in Jeddah region.
