Abstract
To determine the distribution of allergens among allergic rhinitis patients living in Ankara region. Patients and Methods: A total of 1128 patients with clinically suspected allergic rhinitis were examined by prick test. Of these, 708 patients (62.76%) exhibited positive prick test results. Results: The most common allergen in the population tested was Dermatophagoides pteryssinus (mite 1) (n=484) (68.36%), while the next most common was Dermatophagoides farinae (mite 2) (n=424) (59.88%). Sensitivity for one allergen was seen in 156 patients (22.03%), 60 (8.47%) were sensitive to mite 1, 36 (5.08%) were sensitive to grass mix, 36 (5.08%) were sensitive to weed mix, 8 (1.12%) were sensitive to mite 2, 8 (1.12%) were sensitive to tree mix, and 8 (1.12%) were sensitive to an epidermal mix. Conclusion: Allergic rhinitis appears to be a common disorder of adults in and around Ankara, having an incidence of 3.3% according to the medical records of Gazi University ENT clinic. The most common allergen in the population included in the study was Dermatophagoides pteryssinus, followed by Dermatophagoides farinae. The differences between the results of various studies were attributed to the different environmental and socioeconomic properties.
Özet
Çalışma, Ankara yöresinde alerjik rinitli hastalarda alerjen dağılımını saptamak amacıyla yapıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Klinik olarak alerjik rinit ön tanısı alan 1128 hastaya epikütan olarak prick testi uygulandı. Deri testi pozitif olan 708 hasta (% 62,76) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Dermatophagoides pteryssinus (mite 1) (n=484), (% 68,36), test edilen populasyonda en sık rastlanan alerjendi. İkinci sıklıkla Dermatophagoides farinae (mite 2) (n=424) (% 59,88) saptandı. Sadece bir alerjene hassasiyet 156 hastada (% 22, 03) görüldü. 60 (% 8,47) hasta mite 1’e, 36 (% 5,08) hasta çimen karışımına, 36 (% 5,08) hasta yabani ot karışımına, 8 (%) 1, 12 hasta mite 2’ye, 8 (% 1,12) hasta ağaç karışımına, 8 (% 1,12) hasta epidermal karışıma hassas olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Alerjik rinit, Ankara ve çevresinden gelen hastalarda Gazi Üniversitesi Kulak Burun Boğaz kliniğinin kayıtlarında %3,3 gibi bir insidansa sahip, yaygın bir hastalık olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Aynı çevrede en sık rastlanan alerjenler Dermatophagoides pteryssinus ve Dermatophagoides farinae olarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmaların sonuçlarının farklı olmasının nedeni, değişik çevresel ve sosyoekonomik özelliklerdir.
