Resumo: AIMS: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of allergic manifestations observed in elderly attended in an outpatient clinic of geriatrics. METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted with patients over 60 years of age, attended in the Outpatient Clinics of Geriatrics of the Faculty of Medicine of Marilia in Sao Paulo state, who were able to respond to an interview or were accompanied by caregivers able to do it. RESULTS: A total of 106 patients were interviewed. Among the 106 patients evaluated, 56 (52.8%) reported respiratory allergy, 47 (44.3%) possible allergic skin manifestation, and 14 (13.2%) reported drug allergies. The main medicines perceived by patients as drugs that caused allergic reactions were antibiotics (42.8%) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (28.6%), while the other 28.6% of reactions were attributed to other types of drugs. CONCLUSIONS: The elderly included in the study had a relevant prevalence of allergic symptoms.
