“…Different rates have been reported in similar studies conducted in our country. Sensitization to at least one inhaled allergen was detected in 59% of patients with allergic complaints in Denizli (15), 59.5% in atopic children in Alanya (16), 42.3% in children with asthma and allergic rhinitis in Karaman (17) and 31.2% in atopic patients in Malatya (18). The variances in the results may be due to the differences in the distribution of allergens in the 1,2 Sensitivity was higher in autumn and winter compared to spring and summer.…”

Aims: We aimed to determine the distribution of inhaled allergens by evaluating the results of skin prick tests performed on patients with allergic complaints in Konya. Methods: The study included 2351 patients aged 2-18 years who underwent skin prick tests for the diagnosis of inhaled allergens at the Selçuk University Medical Faculty Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Outpatient Clinic between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023. Demographic characteristics and skin prick test results of 696 patients with sensitivity to at least one inhaled allergen were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Sensitivity to at least one inhaled allergen was detected in 696 (29.6%) of 2351 patients who underwent skin prick testing for allergic symptoms. The average age of patients with inhaled allergen sensitivity was 10.37 ± 4.14 years. 278 (39.9%) of the patients were girls and 418 (60.1%) were boys. Considering the distribution of inhaled allergens detected by skin prick test, the most frequent allergens were pollen allergens (78.2%), cat epithelium (38.8%) and dog epithelium (33.8%). The most common allergens detected in girls were pollen allergens (77.3%), cat epithelium (38.1%) and house dust mites (37.1%). The most common allergens detected in males were pollen allergens (78.7%), cat epithelium (39.2%) and dog epithelium (34.7%). When allergen sensitivities were evaluated according to gender, sensitivity to house dust mites was more common in girls than in boys. Sensitivity to pollen allergens was most frequently detected in all seasons. Statistically significant differences were detected between house dust mites, pollen allergens, rye, grass mix and cat epithelium sensitivities according to seasons. Conclusion: Our study shows the distribution of inhaled allergens in Konya province. Therefore, we assume that it can contribute to the implementation of environmental measures that can be taken to protect against allergens and thus to the treatment of patients.
