“…Необходимо также подчеркнуть наличие в анамнезе больной появления (впервые после дождя с грозой), а затем и возобновления через много лет (опять после грозы) симптомов бронхиальной астмы. Данные литературы свидетельствуют об увеличении количества обострений данного заболевания в сезон палинации во время гроз в различных географических зонах, в том числе и возникновения первых симптомов бронхиальной астмы в это время у больных аллергическим ринитом [25,26]. Во время грозы, вследствие сильного ветра, происходит увеличение концентрации пыльцы и спор грибов на уровне земли с разрывом их и формированием более мелкодисперсных частиц (˂5 мкм) вследствие осмотического шока [27,28].…”

Oral allergic syndrome is an IgEmediated allergic reaction to foods of plant origin in persons with sensitization to various pollen allergens. A clinical case of oral allergy syndrome caused by consumption of lemon in a 25-year-old woman with sensitization to many groups of allergens and presence of allergic otitis media and allergy-induced labyrinthitis is presented. The patient had a history of seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, contact allergic dermatitis, urticaria as a manifestation of drug allergy. In vivo (skin prick tests, prick-prick tests) and in vitro allergen specific diagnostics allowed to work out the individual diet and a hypoallergenic regime in this case.

“…Childhood asthma is one of the main causes of hospitalization of children and has been increasing in recent years that are most affected by environmental factors 16 . Previous studies investigated the effect of environmental factors, including climatic conditions and air pollution on asthma admission in different areas of Iran (western, 17 southwest, 18 and southern Iran 19 ). To the best of our knowledge, no attempt has been made to use GIS as an application for analyzing geoclimatic factors affecting the occurrence of asthma hospitalization in Iran.…”

Background: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease resulting from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Among environmental factors, climatic and geographical variations have an important role in increasing asthma hospitalization. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of geoclimatic factors on the occurrence of childhood asthma hospitalization in Fars province, southwest Iran. Method:We mapped the addresses of 211 hospitalized patients with childhood asthma (2016−2019) and investigated the effects of different temperature models, mean annual rainfall and humidity, number of frosty and rainy days, evaporation, slope, and land covers on the occurrence of childhood asthma hospitalization using a geographical information system. The Kriging and Spline methods have been used for generating interpolated models. Data were analyzed using logistic regression.Results: In the multivariate model, urban setting was recognized as the most important childhood asthma hospitalization predictor (p < 0.001, odds ration [OR] = 35.044, confidence interval [CI] = 9.096−135.018). The slope was considered the determinant of childhood asthma hospitalization when analyzed independently and its increase was associated with decreased childhood asthma hospitalization (p = 0.01, OR = 0.914, CI = 0.849−0.984). Conclusion:In the current study, the urban setting was the most important risk factor associated with increased childhood asthma hospitalization.

“…In Iran with adult asthma prevalence about 8.9% in 2018 (Fazlollahi et al, 2018), some studies have been performed to investigate the environmental risk factors of asthma (Rabiee et al, 2018;Dastoorpoor et al, 2021;Idani et al, 2021). In some cases, this approach was developed using GIS method, especially in the Tehran and Esfahan provinces (Central of Iran), while there is no GIS-based study in south of Iran (Rashidi et al, 2013;Alizadeh et al, 2016;Khasha et al, 2018;Kaffash-Charandabi et al, 2019;Faraji et al, 2022).…”

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease resulting from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Many environmental factors have been associated with incidence or prevalence of asthma although there is still limited knowledge of major environmental causes of asthma in the general population. This study, for the first time, investigated the effects of climatic and geographical variability on asthma hospitalization among an adult population living in Fars province, southwest Iran. During the study period, the home addresses of patients hospitalized with acute asthma from 2016 to 2019 were mapped. The effects of geo-climatic factors including temperature, rainfall, humidity, evaporation, number of rainy and frosty days, slope, and land covers were assessed on adult asthma hospitalization by Geographical Information System (GIS). Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression. A total of 349 patients were recruited, including 157 (44.98%) males and 192 (55%) females. The mean age was 57.77 ± 18.84 years, ranging from 19 to 98 years. Asthmatic patients came from a total of 82 points including villages, towns, and cities. In the univariate analysis, urban setting (OR = 13) and Mean Annual Rainy Days (OR = 1.03) were identified as the factors associated with increased asthma hospitalization, while Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) (OR = 0.927), MinMAT (OR = 0.933), MaxMAT (OR = 0.925), Mean Annual Evaporation (MAE) (OR = 0.999), and slope (OR = 0.925) negatively affected asthma hospitalization. Urban setting was considered the only significant factor in multivariate analysis (OR = 11.026). The major risk zones for adulthood acute asthma in southwest Iran were urban settings and areas with higher numbers of rainy days, lower temperatures, and evaporation at lower slopes.
