AB  - We report the development of a detailed allergy questionnaire designed so that 
      the answers can be typed into a mini-computer. Computer programmes have been 
      written to file and to retrieve these answers, and to print a summary which is 
      then 'weighed', so as to produce a clinical atopy score which is then further 
      broken down into indoor and outdoor scores. In a pilot survey of ninety patients, 
      their clinical atopy scores and immunoglobulin E (IgE) profiles have been 
      compared, and additional computer programmes have been written which will (a) 
      assess if a more detailed IgE investigations is warranted, and (b) suggest which 
      allergens, if any, are likely to be responsible for the patients' symptoms.
