Abstract:

with certain predisposing genetic susceptibility hence not all individuals have the same risk of allergy and
autoimmune diseases. Despite not being included in the top ten fatal diseases, the impact of allergy and
autoimmune diseases may severely affect patients’ morbidity and quality of life. Allergy and autoimmune
diseases itself are complex in terms of its etiopathogenesis, clinical symptoms, and management. Studies
regarding the incidence of allergy, autoinflammatory, and autoimmune skin diseases in Cipto

most current data. A retrospective study is needed to calculatethe incidence of allergy, autoinflammatory,
and autoimmune diseases along with patients’ sociodemographic characteristics in the Allergy-Immunology
Clinic, Dermatovenerology Department of Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital. Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital that has been accredited by Joint Commission International in 2016 is a national top
referral hospital providing tertiary medical services equipped with 1033 beds. Therefore, cases such as
allergy, autoinflammatory, and autoimmune diseases, including those in dermatovenerology are ubiquitous.
A study was conducted to determine the incidence and sociodemographic characteristics of allergy,
autoinflammatory, and autoimmune patients in Allergy-Immunology Clinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital. Chronic urticaria was the leading incidence in 2014, 2015, and 2017. In 2016, contact
