Currently, allergic-atopic diseases have become a public health problem, although their existence dates back to remote times, today they have become one of the most common pathologies worldwide. With rapid growth in the incidence of this disease, it can be estimated that 50% of the inhabitants of industrialized and/or developed countries will be affected by it. On the other hand, the term personality is defined as "the individual difference that constitutes a person and distinguishes it from another". It represents structural and dynamic characteristics of individuals, which intervene in responses to different environmental situations. Just as allergies in the present era, psychological pathologies reached their peak in the last decade, which is related to the busy contemporary life that governs society. This has generated scientific interest, where it has been postulated that psychological factors (personality types), could make a person more prone to suffer from allergic symptoms. With this background this present review arises, "personalities would be able to influence the immune system, modifying the susceptibility to develop an allergy." A retrospective study was carried out through a systematic quantitative bibliographic data and/or meta-analysis, where 71 articles were analyzed, through different website search engines. Finally, this research wants to determine, through a bibliographic review, if there is a real relationship between allergic diseases with personality types. Using the obtained results as a diagnostic reference, will provide an integral view over a patient, thus achieving a comprehensive vision of the pathologies and its relationship that are developing nowadays.
