Abstract

Objective: Chronic adenoid infections, and allergic inflammation lead to development of adenoid hypertrophy. One of the major causes of allergic rhinitis due to allergic inflammation is indoor allergens, mainly house dust mites and molds. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the frequency of mold fungi sensitivity in the etiology of allergic rhinitis caused by adenoid hypertrophy in children.Methods: Among the patients who had been admitted to Pediatric Allergy Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Behçet uz Children Hospital, 34 cases with adenoidectomy were recruited. First, a questionarre including the risk factors and the symptoms were applied to the patients. Later, total eosinophil counts, serum total IgE and spesific IgE (m6) levels of the patients were examined and finally skin prick test was applied.Results: The age of the patients included in the study varied between five and nine years, seven (21%) of the patients were female and 27 (79%) of them were male. The the most frequent symptoms were nasal congestion (88%), snoring (82%), sweating (76%); the most frequently identified risk factors were enviromental smoke exposure (52%), use of air conditioning for warming (38%), and cold steam device (32%) respectively. Specific IgE (Alternaria) positivity was detected in 12% of the patients and mold sensitivity (Alternaria) in allergy skin test was detected in 18% of the patients.Conclusion: In children with adenoid hypertrophy,mold sensitivity should be investigated.

Özet

Amaç: Adenoid hipertrofisine kronik adenoid infeksiyonları ve alerjik inflamasyon yol açmaktadır. Alerjik inflamasyon dolayısıyla alerjik rinitin önemli nedenlerinden biri başta ev tozu ve küf mantarı olmak üzere ev içi alerjenlerdir. Bu çalışmada, adenoid hipertrofisi gelişen çocuklarda küf mantarı duyarlılığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Dr. Behçet Uz Çocuk Hastanesi Çocuk Alerji Polikliniğine başvuranlardan öyküsünde adenoidektomi uygulanmış olan 34 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastalara önce yakınmalarını ve risk faktörlerini sorgulayan bir anket yapılmış, daha sonra serum total IgE, serum sIgE(mold) düzeyleri ve alerji deri prick test istenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaşları 5 ile 9 yaş arasında değişmekte olup, 7 (%21)'si kız, 27 (%79)'si erkektir. En sık yakınma; burun tıkanıklığı (%88), horlama (%82) ve terleme (%76), en sık saptanan risk faktörü ise, çevresel sigara dumanı maruziyeti (%52), klima ile ısınma (%38) ve soğuk buhar cihazı kullanımı (%32) olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların %12'sinde sIgE (Alternaria) pozitifliği, %18'inde alerji deri testinde küf mantarı (Alternaria) duyarlılığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Adenoid hipertrofisi olan çocuklarda küf mantarı duyarlılığı araştırılmalıdır.
