typical sign of
or, even, "typical evidence of"

Upon second thought, there are, of course, two possibilities to interpret your phrase:
i) when there is allergy, the following criteria are typically fulfilled, or
ii) allergy is typically present, when the following criteria are fulfilled
"Typical sign/evidence of" will only work for the latter case.

Discussion
"Charakteristisch", however, refers to signs/symptoms/findings which can (!) be pathognomonic but not necessarily indicate the presence of a certain disease. "*Charakteristische* Symptome/Merkmale/Befunde" can occur in various other diseases. They can be typical for the condition in question but do not allow for a definite diagnosis as long as there aren't any additional clues...
