This closely approximates the percentage of the general population with at least 1 positive SPT result (54.3%) as reported in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. CONCLUSIONS: Given the low prevalence of positive SPT results in children with Down syndrome, it is unlikely that allergic rhinitis will be identified as the cause of many of the chronic rhinitis symptoms that many of these children are referred to an allergy practice to have evaluated.
