“…In the United Kingdom, which is one of the 3 countries where allergy is seen more frequently, the frequency rates of food allergy in children aged younger than 3 years old were found to be 33.7% and 5%-6% for cases reported by parents and confirmed by double-blind oral provocation test [24]. In Turkey, among children aged 6-12 years, the rate of doctor-diagnosed food allergy was reported to be 16% in children with asthma and 7.8% in children not having asthma [25].…”

OBJECTIVES: Allergic diseases are a major public health problem, owing to their socioeconomic burden and high frequency. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of allergic diseases in adults and children in the province of Erzurum. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Primary school students aged 11-12 years old filled out the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) phase II questionnaire, and their parents filled out the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) questionnaire by themselves. We enrolled 494 questionnaires for ISAAC and 946 for ECRHS. RESULTS:The survey response rates were 91.8% for ISAAC and 87% for ECRHS. The frequencies of doctor-diagnosed asthma, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy in children were 11.9%, 8.9%, 27.3%, 3.6%, and 6.5%, respectively. In adults, the rates of wheezing in the chest, accompanying shortness of breath, and wheezing in the absence of flu within the last 12 months were 8%, 8%, and 5.5%, respectively, whereas the rate of asthma attack in the last 12 months was 2.9%, the rate of asthma medication usage was 2.6%, and the frequency of allergic rhinitis was 1.6%. The determined risk factors for childhood were "duration of attending a nursery" for asthma (p=0.02, OR=2.51, 95% CI=1.14-5.53), "having ever been to a nursery" for atopic dermatitis (p=0.02, OR=3.83, 95% CI=1.24-11.8), and "a family history of rhinitis" for food allergy (p=0.01, OR=2.94, 95% CI=1.13-6-57). CONCLUSION:The prevalence of allergic diseases in children and adults in Erzurum was found to be lower than in studies conducted throughout Turkey and in western regions of the Country. Going to a nursery, the length of nursery education, and a family history of rhinitis were identified as the risk factors for allergic diseases in children. The identification of regional risk factors and taking preventive measures in this regard may provide a reduction in the incidence of allergic diseases.

Determinar la concentración de vitamina D en pacientes de entre 6 y 18 años de edad sometidos a un seguimiento por asma y la relación entre la concentración de vitamina D y el control y la gravedad del asma. Materiales y métodos. Se inscribió en el estudio a pacientes con asma y voluntarios sanos de entre 6 y 18 años de edad, asignados al grupo de pacientes y al grupo de referencia, respectivamente. Se registraron las características demográficas y los hallazgos clínicos de los pacientes, y se les realizó una prueba funcional respiratoria. Se estimaron el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la concentración de 25-hidroxi vitamina D (25(OH)D), calcio, fósforo, fosfatasa alcalina, inmunoglobulina E total y eosinófilos de todos los pacientes. La gravedad del asma y las condiciones de control se determinaron según los criterios de la Iniciativa Global para el Asma (Global Initiative for Asthma, GINA). Resultados. Se incluyó a 72 pacientes con asma y a 66 niños sanos. En comparación con el grupo de referencia, en el grupo de pacientes se detectó una menor concentración de vitamina D. En 38 (52,8%) niños del grupo de pacientes con asma se observó deficiencia de vitamina D; en este grupo, el control del asma era deficiente y la gravedad, significativamente mayor. No se observó una correlación significativa entre la concentración de vitamina D y el sexo, la obesidad, las pruebas funcionales respiratorias, las pruebas cutáneas, la concentración sérica de eosinófilos e inmunoglobulina E (IgE) total. Conclusión. La deficiencia y la insuficiencia de vitamina D fueron más frecuentes en los niños con asma, en comparación con los niños del grupo de referencia. Una menor concentración de vitamina D se asocia con un control deficiente del asma y una mayor gravedad de esta. INTRODUCCIÓNEl asma es una enfermedad crónica e inflamatoria del aparato respiratorio acompañada de hipersensibilidad de las vías respiratorias, sibilancias recurrentes, disnea y tos.1 En los últimos 20 a 30 años, con el pico significativo del asma, el índice de niños y adolescentes con diagnóstico clínico de asma aumentó del 9% al 17%.2 Los resultados del Estudio Internacional de Asma y Alergias en la Niñez (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, ISAAC), llevado a cabo con la misma metodología en 56 países, demostró que la frecuencia del asma varía entre el 1,6% y el 36,8%. 3La deficiencia de vitamina D es un problema médico frecuente que afecta a aproximadamente un millón de niños y adolescentes en todo el mundo.4 Según los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Examen de Salud y Nutrición (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES), solamente un cuarto de los adolescentes y adultos de los Estados Unidos tienen una concentración adecuada de vitamina D.5 Además de los efectos sobre el metabolismo del calcio y el desarrollo óseo, se cree que la vitamina D también regula intensamente el sistema inmunitario y tiene una función potencial e...
