“…1 A child with one atopic parent would possess a 30% risk of having allergic diseases, whereas a child with both atopic parents would possess an additional 20% risk. 16 Furthermore, a study conducted by Tamay et al 17 in Istambul, Turkey showed that a child with a positive family history carried a greater risk for developing AR.…”

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease affecting 5-45% of Asian population. Although it is not a life-threatening disease, AR significantly hampers the quality of life of the sufferers. The prevalence of AR among adults in Indonesia is still unknown. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of AR among batch 2010 students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during June-October 2013 involving Indonesian class batch 2010 students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran. The sampling was performed using total sampling approach. The measurement tool used in this study was the Indonesian translation of the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma-World Health Organization (ARIA-WHO) questionnairee. Those who were aware of being diagnosed with AR or had two/more AR defining symptoms in the questionnaire form were considered to have AR. The statistical analysis was conducted by calculating frequencies. Results: A total of 207 questionnaire forms were adequately filled out and returned. Based on the questionnaire, the prevalence rate of AR was 38.2%. Of the 79 AR cases, 66% cases involved females. In addition, 54% of the the AR cases have a parental history of allergic diseases. Nasal obstruction and itchy nose were the most frequent symptoms (90%), followed by rhinorrhea (89%), sneezing (82%), and eye symptoms (62%). Based on the duration, the majority fell into the intermittent group (91%); whereas based on severity, the majority was in the moderate-severe group (71%). Conclusions:The prevalence rate of AR obtained in this study is within the estimated range of Asian population. [AMJ.2015;2(4):

ÖZAlerjik rinit burunda akıntı, hapşırık, kaşıntı ve tıkanıklık, sıklıkla konjonktival enjeksiyon ve gözde kaşınmayla karakterize olan burun mukozasının kronik enflamasyonu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Çocukluk çağı alerjik rinit prevalansı dünya çapında hızlı bir artış göstermektedir. Ancak bölgeler arasında bariz farklar vardır, bu da alerjik rinitin gelişiminde değişen genetik ve çevresel etkenlere işaret etmektedir. Bölgesel bu fark, genetik yatkınlık yanında çevresel ve davranışsal faktörlerin hızlı değişimiyle meydana gelen 'Batı tarzı diyet' ve 'Batılı yaşam tarzı' ile esas olarak ilişkili bulunmuştur. Alerjik rinit gelişimine yol açan bazı ana ve potansiyel risk faktörleri halen net olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu derlemede, çoğu iyi bilinen ve bazı yeni ortaya çıkmış risk faktörleri son literatür verileri ışığında tartışılacaktır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Allerjik rinit; prevalans; risk faktörü. ABSTRACTAllergic rhinitis is described as a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa causing rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal congestion and itching, often characterized with conjunctival injection and ocular itching. The prevalence of pediatric allergic rhinitis has recently shown a sharp increase throughout the world. However, there are significant differences among the regions, thus indicating to the influence of varying genetic and environmental factors upon the development of allergic rhinitis. This regional difference is mainly related to the 'western diet' and 'western lifestyle', with its swift changes in environmental and behavioral factors, besides a genetic predisposition. Some main and potential risk factors contributing to the development of allergic rhinitis are still unclear. In this review, we discuss mostly well known and some emerging new risk factors in the light of recent literature.

“…But here, too, there are qualifications. For example, it is suspected that it is not the infections themselves, but the use of antibiotics and paracetamol that might be connected with an increase in asthma cases [6,7,10]. And it is uncertain whether the antibiotics themselves are the cause of the increase or whether the need to consult a doctor to obtain antibiotics leads to an earlier diagnosis of allergic diseases [11].…”

Abstract:In the literature, according to the hygiene hypothesis, infections should be expected to correlate with fewer allergies. However, several studies clearly show that infections -especially infections of the upper respiratory tract -and surrogate parameters such as the use of antibiotics or paracetamol correlate with a higher rate of allergies. This article reviews the literature (50 articles are analyzed) on possible connections between infections and allergies and offers some possible explanations. Original data from population-based health interviews and examination surveys of adults, children and adolescents are added. These data show a clear correlation between most infections and an enhanced allergy rate. Nevertheless, although the correlastions obtained seem intriguing, it has to be kept in mind, that no clear direction of the correlations can be stated since the database does not allow for such interpretation. So, the data do not necessarily add to the picture of the hygiene hypothesis, as the infections could have followed the allergies. The probability of suffering from an allergy rises with the number of infections (or vice versa) a person has had (e.g. the risk for adults of developing asthma is enhanced to 1.3 CI-95% 1.2-1.4 with enhanced numbers of former infections with pertussis, chickenpox, scarlet fever, dysentery or typhoid/paratyphoid). This applies especially to pertussis (e.g. 15.8% CI-95% 13.6-18.3% of children with hayfever had pertussis versus 7.6% CI-95% 6.9-8.3% of the healthy children) and chickenpox infections (e.g. 84.7% CI-95% 82.7-86.6% of children with hayfever had chickenpox versus 66.8% CI-95% 65.8-67.8% of the healthy children), both of which are preventable by vaccination.
