Abstract

Marmara bölgesinde yaşayan ve atopik yakınmalar ile kliniğimize başvurmuş hastaların aeroalerjen duyarlılıklarının dağılımını incelemek istedik. Çocuk İmmünolojisi ve Alerji Hastalıkları Polikliniği’ne Nisan 2023-Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında başvuran 0-18 yaş arası hastalardan deri prickprik test (DPT) uygulanmış olgular geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Olguların % 40,2’ si (n=355) nonsensitize, % 46,2’ si (n=408) monosensitize, % 13,6’ sı (n=120) polisensitize idi. Olgularımızda en sık (% 44,3) saptanan aeroalerjen ev tozu akarlarıydı. Bunu sırasıyla polen, hayvan tüyü epiteli ve küf takip ediyordu. Alerjik hastalıklarda primer korunma önlemleri tedavinin ilk basamağını oluşturmaktadır. Bu bölgede yaşayan olgularda en sık aeroalerjenin bilinmesi duyarlanma öncesinde bile farkındalık sağlamaktadır. DPT için alerjen paneli oluşturulurken bölgeye özgü duyarlılık sıklığı mutlaka göz önüne alınmalıdır.

Evaluation Of Aeroallergen Sensitivities of Atopic Children Living In The Marmara Region

Abstract

We wanted to examine the distribution of aeroallergen sensitivities of patients living in the Marmara region and applying to our clinic with atopic complaints. Cases who underwent skin prick test (SPT) among patients aged 0-18 years who applied to the Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Polyclinic between April 2023 and April 2024 were evaluated retrospectively. 40.2% (n=355) of the cases were nonsensitized, 46.2% (n=408) were monosensitized, and 13.6% (n=120) were polysensitized. The most frequently detected aeroallergen (44.3%) in our cases was house dust mites. The other common allergens were pollen, animal dander and mold, respectively. The first step of the treatment in allergic disease is primary prevention measures. Identifying the regional distribution frequencies of aeroallergens can contribute to the prevention of diseases by raising awareness and taking precautions before sensitization. The regional distribution frequencies of aeroallergen sensitivities must be taken into consideration when setting an allergen panel for SPTs.
