“…The risk of childhood asthma in infants living in the highest urbanization level was higher than that in infants residing in the lowest urbanization level (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.24–1.29; p < 0.0001). In a previous study, the risk of asthma or AR is higher in children living in rural areas than in urban areas ( 25 ). The lower prevalence of childhood asthma in children living in farms is associated with asthma-protective “farm effect” ( 26 ).…”

Objective: This study aimed to assess the associations of the risk of asthma diagnosed in children aged 6 years or younger and having maternal immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), inflammatory myositis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and autoimmune thyroiditis.Methods: A total of 628,878 singleton newborns documented in 2006–2009 and followed up for at least 6 years were identified. Overall, 153,085 (24.3%) children developed asthma at the age of ≤ 6 years. Two groups of maternal ages, i.e., <35 and ≥35 years, were evaluated. The associations of the risk of asthma occurring in children who were 6 years old or younger and had maternal IMIDs were examined.Results: The risk of asthma increased in children whose mothers had SLE [odds ratio (OR), 1.13; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.00–1.27; p = 0.04), RA (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07–1.38; p = 0.003), inflammatory myositis (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.12–1.74; p = 0.003), asthma (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.52–1.63), allergic rhinitis (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.28–1.32), or atopic dermatitis (OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02–1.12). Conversely, this increased risk was not observed in children whose mothers had AS (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.87–1.20), SS (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.86–1.07), SSc (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.77–2.14), or autoimmune thyroiditis (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95–1.07). Other risk factors of childhood asthma included high urbanization level, preterm birth, and low birth weight.Conclusion: The risk of childhood asthma at 6 years of age increased in children whose mothers suffered from SLE, RA, inflammatory myositis, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.

“…A 2015 study conducted on college students with a 58.5% prevalence of allergic rhinitis also reported lower quality of life. 19,20 The same thing is supported by studies conducted in Korea on adults who reported the impact of allergic rhinitis on the physical health of sufferers, which stated that the symptoms of allergic rhinitis had an adverse effect on sleep, daily activities, physical status, mental and social function. Allergic rhinitis sufferers also experienced fatigue, headaches, mood and sleep disorders, physical disturbances, mental problems, and cognitive dysfunction.…”

Background: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the nose that occurs as an IgE-mediated reaction. Classical symptoms of allergic rhinitis are sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itching and rhinorrhea. The effects of allergic rhinitis can have an impact on daily activities that affect the quality of life of sufferers. Purpose: To determine the differences between the quality of life of allergic rhinitis sufferers and non-symptomatic subjects in the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra batch 2017. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample was obtained by total sampling technique and used two questionnaires, Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) to assess allergic rhinitis, and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF 36) to assess the quality of life of the research subjects, which were students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra, of the year 2017. Result: Among 213 students from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara of the year 2017, there were 112 allergic rhinitis sufferers and 101 non-symptomatic students. The median quality of life score for allergic rhinitis sufferers was 74, while the median score of quality of life for non-symptomatic students was 78. Using Man Whitney test, the result obtained p value <0.05 (p = 0.044). Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the quality of life of students with allergic rhinitis and non-symptomatic individuals.Keywords: allergic rhinitis, quality of life, SFAR, SF-36ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Rinitis alergi merupakan inflamasi yang terjadi pada hidung akibat adanya reaksi alergi yang diperantarai oleh IgE. Gejala rinitis alergi berupa bersin-bersin, hidung tersumbat, serta hidung gatal dan rinore. Gejala rinitis alergi dapat berdampak pada aktivitas sehari-hari sehingga mempengaruhi kualitas hidup penderitanya. Tujuan: Mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup penderita dan bukan penderita rinitis alergi pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara, angkatan 2017. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian ditentukan dengan teknik total sampling dan menggunakan dua buah kuesioner yaitu Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) untuk menilai rinitis alergi dan 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) untuk menilai kualitas hidup. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2017. Hasil: Dari 213 mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2017, didapati 112 penderita rinitis alergi dan 101 bukan penderita rinitis alergi. Skor median kualitas hidup penderita rinitis alergi adalah 74 sedangkan skor median kualitas hidup mahasiswa bukan penderita rinitis alergi adalah 78. Dengan uji Man Whitney diperoleh hasil p value <0,05 (p=0,044). Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan antara kualitas hidup penderita rinitis alergi dan bukan penderita rinitis alergi.Kata kunci: rinitis alergi, kualitas hidup, SFAR, SF 36

Allergic Disease - New Developments in Diagnosis and Therapy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the recent time period, pediatric allergy clinics across the world have markedly changed their practice because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, clinics are not inclined to accept a patient demanding a new procedure / therapeutic modality during pandemic. All allergic diseases require continuous management and treatment, and their socioeconomic burden has been increasing worldwide. In this chapter, the aim is to focus on allergic diseases management during pandemic. During this time, patient follow-up, patient management, and diagnostic tests are real challenges. Limited face-to-face consultations and as much as use of telemedicine are currently seen as the major issues in the allergy practice. Face-to-face examination and treatment should be preferred only in vital situations. During COVID-19 pandemic, patient education, which is the most important step in the treatment of allergic diseases, has started to be done online. The prevailing opinion in the allergy community is that the treatment should not be interrupted, or dose reduction should not be made. According to the guidelines, it is appropriately recommended to carefully calculate the profit and loss of the treatment on a case-by-case basis.
