Abstract

Introduction: The diagnosis of asthma is still a difficult problem in cystic fibrosis. There is no consensus on how to define “CF asthma”. The aim of this study was to determine the role of bronchodilator response and laboratory evidence of allergy in “CF asthma”. Materials and Methods: Patients aged ≥6 years with evaluated bronchodilator response and characteristics of atopy were included in the study. Patients diagnosed with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis or pulmonary exacerbation were excluded. Results: A total of 204 CF patients were evaluated, and 40 who met the criteria were included. Asthma had been diagnosed in ten patients. A positive bronchodilator response was present in 47.3% of the patients tested. Aeroallergen sensitization was present in 52.5% of the patients. While the frequency of recurrent/history of wheezing, family history of atopy and elevated total immunoglobulin E were similar (p> 0.05), the frequencies of inhaled medication use and coexistence of asthma were statistically higher in the group with positive allergen sensitization (p< 0.05). The frequencies of positive bronchodilator response (77.7% versus 37.9%) and a family history of asthma/atopy (40% versus. 23%) were found to be similar in CF asthma and CF. There were significant increases in total IgE and allergen-specific IgE and an increase in the frequency of aeroallergen sensitization in CF asthma compared to CF (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Although not routinely used in the evaluation of patients, allergen specific-IgE and skin prick test for aeroallergen sensitization may be used as an adjunctive test in patients with suspected clinical findings. The recognition of CF asthma may facilitate the development of targeted therapies

Özet

Giriş: Kistik fibrozis hastalığında astım tanısının konulmasında hala sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. Kistik fibroziste astımın tanımlanmasına yönelik herhangi bir fikir birliği bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmamızda astım eşlik eden kistik fibrozis hastalarında bronkodilatör cevabının ve alerji açısından laboratuvar kanıtlarının rolünün belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya altı yaşın üzerinde, bronkodilatör yanıtı ve atopi özellikleri değerlendirilmiş kistik fibrozis tanısı ile takip edilen hastalar dahil edildi. Alerjik Bronkopulmoner Aspergilloz ve pulmoner alevlenme tanısı alan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 204 hastanın dosyası incelendi. Kriterlere uyan 40 hastanın sonuçları değerlendirildi. On hastaya astım tanısı konulmuştu. Hastaların %47,3’ünde pozitif bronkodilatör yanıtı ve %52,5’inde aeroallerjen duyarlılığı bulunmaktaydı. Pozitif aeroalerjen duyarlılığı olan grupta astım birlikteliği ve inhalasyon ile ilaç kullanım sıklığı istatistiksel olarak yüksekken (p 0,05) saptandı. Astım olan ve olmayan hasta gruplarında pozitif bronkodilatör cevabı (%77,7 ve %37,9) ve ailede astım/atopi sıklığı (%40 ve %23) benzer olarak belirlendi. Astım eşlik eden grupta, eşlik etmeyen grup ile karşılaştırıldığında IgE ve alerjen spesifik IgE yüksekliği ve aeroalerjen duyarlılığı sıklığı daha fazlaydı (p< 0,05). Sonuç: Kistik fibrozis hastalarında rutin olarak kullanılmayan, alerjen spefisik IgE ve deri prick testi şüpheli klinik bulgulara sahip hastalarda yardımcı test olarak kullanılabilir. Bu hastalarda astımın tanınması, hedefe yönelik tedavilerin geliştirilmesini kolaylaştırabilir
