Coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing were considered as pulmonary symptoms. The relationship between the skin prick test results and the pulmonary symptoms were investigated.RESULTS: Of the 1343 patients, skin prick test was negative in the 449 and positive in the 894 of the patients. It was observed that the most frequent pulmonary symptoms were coughing 52.9% and shortness of breath 45.2% . Pulmonary symptoms were significantly high in the allergic patients 70.8% compared to the non-allergic group %29.2 p=0.021 . No significant differences were detected between the patient groups with and without pulmonary symptoms in terms of distribution and count of allergens.CONCLUSION: A positive skin prick test occurred significantly high in patients with pulmonary symptoms compared to the patients without pulmonary symptoms. We did not find a relationship between the distribution of allergens and the pulmonary symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.

Öksürük, nefes darlığı ve hırıltılı solunum akciğer semptomları olarak kabul edildi. Dri prik test ve akciğer semptomları arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı.BULGULAR: 1343 hastadan 449’unda deri prik testi negatif, 894’ünde pozitif idi. En sık akciğer semptomlarının öksürük %52.9 ve nefes darlığı %45.2 olduğu gözlendi. Akciğer semptomları alerjik grupta %70.8 alerjik olmayan gruba %29.2 göre anlamlı oranda daha fazlaydı p=0.021 . Akciğer semptomu olan ve olmayan gruplar karşılaştırıldığında alerjen dağılımı ve sayıları yönünden anlamlı fark izlenmedi. SONUÇ: Akciğer semptomları olan hastalarda olmayanlara göre deri prik testi anlamlı oranda daha yüksek bulundu. Allerjik rinitli hastalarda alerjen dağılımı ile akciğer semptomları arasında ilişki bulmadık. CR - Bauchau V, Durham SR.
