Popis: Aim. The results of clinical, anamnestic study of 154 children with seasonal symptoms of allergic rhinitis and/or bronchial asthma are declared in this article. Methods and results. Questionnaire survey was done with further estimation of sensitivity (S), specificity (Sp), positive and negative prognostic values (±PV), odds ratio (OR) for each question. The regression model was built (ROC-curve) which includes most informative parameters. It was revealed that such questions as presence of symptoms during warm time of year (spring-summer-autumn), presence of visible mold in dwelling, appearance of symptoms after contact with fallen leaves – entered the prognostic model of mold allergy. Conclusion. They have optimal sensitivity and specificity (Se=47,8%, Sp=89,7%) with area under ROC-curve AUC=0,75.
