Abstract

Objective: Acute urticaria is one of most common allergic skin diseases in children like all age groups. But the etiological factors may vary from society to society and can’t be determined in all cases. In this study, we wanted to investigate the factors that may play a role in the etiology acute urticaria in children admitted to the emergency department of an inner city hospital. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of children with acute urticaria who had admitted to the pediatric emergency department of Sisli Etfal Training and Research Hospital. In addition to a detailed history, the patients were thoroughly examined; some biochemical tests, radiological investigations and skin prick test with some common allergens were made. Results: The study comprised 46 (26 boys) children with a mean age of 5.9 years. Forty (86.9%) of patients with urticaria had at least one etiological factor and 21 (45.6%) cases had more than one etiological factor. Allergy to environmental allergens (39%) and infections (19.5%) were found to be the leading etiological factors in children with acute urticaria.

Özet

Giriş: Akut ürtiker, tüm yaş gruplarında olduğu gibi çocuklarda da sık rastlanan allerjik deri hastalıklarından biridir. Ancak etyolojik faktörler toplumdan topluma değişebilir ve her zaman tespit edilemez. Bu çalışmada büyük bir şehir hastanesinin çocuk acil polikliniğine akut ürtiker sebebiyle başvuran çocuklarda etyolojide rol oynayan faktörlerin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Şişli Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi çocuk acil polikliniğine akut ürtiker sebebiyle başvuran çocuklar alınmıştır. Bütün hastalarda ayrıntılı bir öykünün yanında, tam bir fizik muayene, bazı biyokimyasal testler, radyolojik incelemeler ve yaygın allerjenlerle prik deri testleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 5.9 yıl olan 46 çocuk (26’sı erkek) alınmıştır. Hastaların 40 (%86.9)’ında en az bir etyolojik faktör, 21 (%45.6)’inde ise birden fazla etyolojik faktör bulunmuştur. Çevresel allerjenlere duyarlılık (%39) ve infeksiyonlar (%19.5) akut ürtikerli çocuklarda önde gelen etyolojik faktörler olarak bulunmuştur.
