Özet:

 Objective: The identification of the most common aeroallergens causing allergic rhinitis AR in a specific geographic area is important in the diagnosis and treatment of AR. This study evaluates the prevalence of sensitivity to aeroallergens among patients with AR who live in Kocaeli province, Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study included a retrospective review of skin prick test SPT results from patients with suspected AR who were examined at a tertiary hospital rhinology clinic. Results: The SPT results of 85 patients with an AR diagnosis were included in this study. House dust mites HDM had the highest frequency of positive test responses 57.6, followed by tree pollen 40.0, grass pollen 36.5, weed pollen 32.9, cockroach 18.8, animal dander 14.1, and mold 11.8. The majority of the AR patients were polysensitized 57.6, and the most common allergens in polysensitized patients were tree pollen 61.2, grass pollen 57.1, and HDM 55.1, respectively. The strongest single allergen in monosensitized subjects was HDM, with a rate of 61.1. Conclusion: The most prevalent allergen was HDM among AR patients in the Kocaeli region, followed by tree pollen and grass pollen. Polisensitization occurs more frequently than monosensitization. These allergens should be prioritized in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis in Kocaeli region patients.

 Amac: Alerjik rinit ARin tanı ve tedavisinde belirli bir coğrafi bölgedeki ARyi tetikleyen en yaygın aeroalerjenlerin belirlenmesi önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu çalışma, Kocaeli ilinde yaşayan ARli hastalarda aeroalerjen duyarlılığının prevalansını değerlendirmektedir. Yontem: Bu tek merkezli kesitsel tanımlayıcı çalışma, üçüncü basamak bir hastanenin rinoloji kliniğinde AR öntanısı ile değerlendirilen hastalara ait deri prik testi DPT sonuçlarının retrospektif bir incelemesini içermektedir. Bulgular: AR tanılı 85 hastanın DPT sonuçları analiz edildi. Ev tozu akarları HDM en yüksek pozitif test yanıtı sıklığına sahipti 57.6, bunu ağaç poleni 40.0, çim poleni 36.5, yabani ot poleni 32.9, hamamböceği 18.8, hayvan tüyü 14.1 ve küf 11.8 izledi. Hastaların çoğunluğu polisensitize idi 57.6 ve bu hastalarda en sık görülen alerjenler sırasıyla ağaç poleni 61.2, çim poleni 57.1 ve HDM 55.1 idi. Monosensitize kişilerde en yaygın tek alerjen 61.1 ile HDM idi. Sonuc: Kocaeli bölgesinde AR hastaları arasında en sık görülen alerjen HDMdir, bunu ağaç poleni ve çim polenleri izlemektedir. Polisensitizasyon, monosensitizasyondan daha çok yaygındır. Kocaeli bölgesi hastalarında alerjik rinit tanı ve tedavisinde bu alerjenler öncelikli olarak düşünülmelidir.
