Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study is to measure the levels of antioxidant vitamins and magnesium during allergic rhinitis attacks. Patients and Methods: Thirty five children who have sensitivity for house dust and mite with mild/ moderate persistent allergic rhinitis without any other allergic diseases were considered as the study group, and 35 healthy children as the control group. The patient group was classified according to the symptom scoring system. Venous blood samples were obtained before breakfast in each group to determine serum vitamin A, C, E and magnesium levels. Results: Serum vitamin A level was significantly lower in the study group compared with the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of serum vitamin C, E and magnesium levels. Conclusion: This study showed that vitamin A consumption increases to repair mucosal epithelium which is damaged by inflammation and to prevent the oxidative damage in allergic rhinitis. This result may imply new therapeutic approaches. Amaç: Bu çalışmada allerjik rinit atakları esnasında antioksidan vitaminler ve magnezyum düzeylerinin ölçümü amaçlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya orta persistan allerjik rinit tanısı konulan, diğer allerjik hastalıkları olmayan ve cilt testinde ev tozu akarlarına karşı hassasiyeti saptanan 35 hasta çalışma grubu, 35 sağlıklı çocuk kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Hasta grubu semptom skorlama sistemine göre sınıflandırıldı. Serum vitamin A, C, E ve magnezyum seviyelerini ölçmek için venöz kan örnekleri her grup için sabah kahvaltıdan önce alındı. Bulgular: Alerjik rinitli çocuklarda serum vitamin A düzeyi kontrol grubuna göre belirgin olarak düşük bulundu. Gruplar arasında serum vitamin C, E ve magnezyum seviyelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, alerjik rinitte oksidatif harabiyeti önlemek ve inlamasyonla harap edilen mukozal epiteli tamir etmek için vitamin A'nın tüketildiği düşünülmektedir. Bu sonuç aynı zamanda da yeni tedavi yaklaşımlarını akla getirmektedir.
