Abstract

Aim: Chronic cough is a frequent complaint in childhood and causes problems in diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the study was to determine allergen sensitivity in children referred to the hospital with chronic cough complaint.Materials and methods: Allergy test evaluation forms and test results of 240 children aged between 3-15 (142 girls, 98 boys, median age; 7.4 ±3.0 years) who were referred to Gaziantep Children Hospital with chronic cough (cough lasting more than 3 weeks) were retrospectively reviewed.Results: At least one allergen sensitivity was found in 137 of 240 children (57.1%). The most frequent sensitization was found against grass pollens, house dust mite and wheat pollen respectively (50.4%, 24.6%, 23.3%). Moreover, single allergen sensitization was found in 17.5% of children and 82.5 % was sensitized to multiple allergens.Conclusion: The results will serve in understanding the distribution of allergen sensitization in children around Gaziantep area and aid in the evaluation of children with chronic cough complaint

Özet

Amaç: Kronik öksürük çocukluk çağında sık görülen, tanı ve tedavide problem yaratan bir semptomdur. Bu çalışmada kronik öksürük şikayeti ile başvuran hastalarda allerjen duyarlılığı profilinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Materyal ve Metot: Gaziantep Çocuk Hastanesi polikliniğine kronik öksürük (3 haftadan uzun süren) şikayeti ile başvurup deri prick testi uygulanan 3-15 yaş arasındaki 240 hastanın (142 kız, 98 erkek; ort. yaş 7.4 ±3.0) allerji testi değerlendirme formları ve test sonuçları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 240 çocuktan 137’sinde (%57.1) en az bir allerjene karşı duyarlılık saptandı. En sık duyarlılık %50.4 ile çimen polenlerine karşı saptanırken, ikinci sırada %24.6 ile ev tozu akarları, üçüncü sırada ise %23.3 ile buğday poleni gelmekteydi. Deri prick testi pozitif olan olguların %17.5’inde tek allerjene karşı duyarlılık saptanırken, %82.5 olguda birden fazla allerjene karşı duyarlılık vardı. Sonuç: Çalışma verilerinin bölgemizdeki allerjen dağılımının anlaşılmasında ve kronik öksürük şikayeti ile başvuran çocuklarda allerjen duyarlılığının dikkate alınmasında katkı sağlayacağı düşünüldü
