Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is increasing in prevalence among children globally and in India. Allergens are factors which trigger allergic rhinitis. Skin prick test (SPT) is a rapid, sensitive and cost effective test to detect IgE- mediated allergic diseases. Identification of common aeroallergens in an area is necessary, in order to educate the patient on what allergens to avoid and also help find the best formulation of allergen immunotherapy for effective AR treatment. This study was done to find the clinical profile and skin sensitivity to common allergens by skin prick test in children with allergic rhinitis between six and fifteen years.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016. All children between 6 to 15 years with allergic rhinitis were included in the study. Skin prick test was done with seven most common allergens.Results: A total of 60 children with allergic rhinitis were studied and 42 patients (70%) tested positive for SPT. The major symptoms were persistent sneezing (68%), nasal itching (33%), rhinorrhea (85%) and nasal congestion (42%). The proportion of sneezers-runners was higher than blockers (64% versus 36). We tested seven common allergens and house dust mite allergen yielded the highest number of positive responses (33%) followed by cockroach (25%), alternaria (16.66%), parthenium (10%), cat dander (8.35%), sorghum (5%) and dog dander (5%). Among patients with SPT positivity; eight were positive to one allergen, thirteen were positive to two allergens, sixteen to three allergens and five to four allergens.Conclusions: Allergic Rhinitis with a number of allergic co morbidities has a significant impact on the quality of life and scholastic performance in children. Skin prick test which is a standardized, most rapid, sensitive and cost-effective test to detect IgE-mediated allergic diseases is helpful in identifying the common allergens. House dust mite is the commonest allergen tested positive in our study in children.

Allergy is a change of reaction or body's defense response to substances that are actually harmless. An estimated 10-20% of the population had been or are suffering from the disease. The purpose of this study was to thoroughly observe allergic patients on Allergy Clinic Immanuel Hospital Bandung from January 2013–January 2014 based on allergen, clinical sign, age and gender. This study use descriptive methods with retrospective data retrieval from medical record. We gathered 206 skin prick test (SPT) results and found that the highest incidence of allergy was between 31-40 years (22.33%), 64.54% were women, 43.20% of patients with dermatitis as the major clinical signs, 70.59% of patients allergic to house dust mite as a common environmental allergens, 24.84% of patients allergic to shrimp as the most common food allergens. In conlusion, allergic patients with SPT positive common at the age of 31-40 years, women, Dermatitis as a major clinical signs. The most common environmental allergens that cause allergy was house dust mite. The most common food allergens that cause allergy was shrimp.Keywords: allergy, dermatitis, Immanuel Hospital Bandung, skin prick test

Bedding dust is a mixture of many components, of which the house dust mite (HDM) allergen, Der p 1, is the most allergenic. There has been little work to investigate the effect of other bedding dust components on HDM sensitisation. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of endotoxin in bedding dust on the allergic response in HDM-sensitised individuals. Twenty-nine house dust mite-sensitised adults were skin prick and allergen patch tested against a sterile solution of their own bedding dust and against a solution containing the same concentration of Der p 1 as the bedding solution for comparison. There was no significant difference in wheal size between the diluted house dust mite solution and the bedding dust in spite of their high levels of endotoxin. Symptomatic subjects had larger, but not statistically significant, responses to commercial house dust mite solution than asymptomatic subjects. Allergen patch test responses were negative in 22/29 of subjects using either bedding dust solutions or comparable diluted house dust mite solutions. An individual's own bedding dust does not appear to contain factors that enhance skin prick test or atopy patch test responses to house dust mites.
