Abstract

Objectives: Many factors have been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of otitis media with effusion (OME). In this study, we investigated the role of allergy and the incidence of allergic rhinitis in patients with OME. Patients and Methods: The study included 22 children (17 boys, 5 girls; mean age 7.8 years; range 2 to 12 years) with OME confirmed by findings of physical examination and tympanometry. Patients with high IgE levels and symptoms of allergic rhinitis were further investigated by skin prick tests and nasal smears. The results were compared with those of an age- and sex-matched control group (13 boys, 8 girls; mean age 7.8 years) with no symptoms of otolaryngological diseases. Results: Symptoms of rhinitis, serum IgE levels, prick test and nasal smear findings suggested a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis in five children with OME (23%), and in one child (4.8%) in the control group. However, this difference did not reach significance (p>0.05). Conclusion: Identification and appropriate treatment of allergic rhinitis in patients with OME may increase the success rate of OME treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Efüzyonlu otitis medianın (EOM) etyopatogenezinde pek çok faktör sorumlu tutulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, etyopatogenezinde alerjinin etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla, EOM'lu olgularda alerjik rinit sıklığı araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya fizik muayene ve timpanometrik inceleme ile EOM tanısı konmuş 22 çocuk (17 erkek, 5 kız; ort. yaş 7.8; dağılım 2-12) alındı. Serum immünglobulin E (IgE) düzeyi yüksek bulunan veya klinik olarak tekrarlayan rinit semptomları gösteren çocuklara, prick testi ve nazal smear ile alerji ayırıcı tanısı yapıldı. Sonuçlar, herhangi bir KBB hastalığı bulunmayan, yaş ve cinsiyet açısından benzer kontrol grubuyla (13 erkek, 8 kız; ort. yaş 7.8) karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Rinit semptomları, serum total IgE düzeyleri, cilt testi ve nazal smear bulguları ışığında EOM'lu beş çocukta (%23), kontrol grubunda ise bir çocukta (%4.8) alerjik rinit tanısı kondu. Bununla birlikte, bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Efüzyonlu otitis medialı olgularda karşılaşılan alerjik rinitin tedavisi, EOM tedavisindeki başarıyı artırabilir.
