Background Skin prick test (SPT) or Phadiatop, a multi-allergen IgE screening test, was used as a tool for detecting aeroallergen sensitization. Objective To compare SPT and Phadiatop as a tool for diagnosis allergic rhinitis (AR) using the nasal provocation test (NPT) as a comparative standard. Methods Children aged 5-18 years with rhinitis symptoms more than 6 times in the past year were enrolled. SPT to 13 common aeroallergens, serum for Phadiatop, and NPT to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) were performed. NPT to mixed cockroach (CR) were performed in children who had CR sensitization and negative NPT to Der p. Children who had a disagreement between the result of SPT and Phadiatop or having negative results were evaluated for specific IgE (sIgE) to common aeroallergens. Results One hundred-forty children were enrolled with the mean age of 9.8 ± 3 years, 56% were male. Of 92 children (65.7%) with positive SPT to any aeroallergens, 88 children (95.6%) were sensitized to house dust mite (HDM). NPT showed positive results in 97 children (69.3%). Of 48 children who showed negative SPT, 4 children (8.3%) had sIgE to aeroallergens but NPT was positive in 1 child. Eighty-eight children (62.9%) had positive tests for Phadiatop and 4 (4.5%) of them had negative results for NPT to Der p. Among 52 children who had negative results for Phadiatop, 4 children (7.6%) had sIgE to aeroallergens but NPT was positive in 2 children (3.8%). SPT and Phadiatop showed 94.2% agreement: with Kappa 0.876, p < 0.001. Using NPT as a comparative standard for diagnosis for AR, SPT showed a sensitivity of 89.6% and specificity of 88.3% and Phadiatop provided the sensitivity of 88.6% and specificity of 95.3%. Conclusions SPT to aeroallergen and Phadiatop have good and comparable sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of AR in children.

AbstractBackground:Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of non-infectious rhinitis, affecting 500 million people worldwide, with one-fifth of those affected living in the Indian subcontinent. The skin prick test is the most valuable test for detecting offending allergens, and can be helpful for patient education, allergen avoidance and immunotherapy planning.Method:The skin prick test was performed with 49 allergens in 486 patients who presented with symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and the allergen profile was studied.Results:Of the 486 allergic rhinitis patients, 335 (68.93 per cent) showed allergen positivity to the skin prick test. Dust mite was the most common allergen, with positive results in 44.65 per cent of cases.Conclusion:The most common offending allergen in our study was the dust mite. Identification of specific allergens for a particular geographical area aids patient education and enables allergen-specific immunotherapy.

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.

Atopy is a syndrome characterized by genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. The risk factors of atopic diseases can be placed in two categories, namely host and environmental factors. The host factors of allergy include genetics, race, gender, age… etc. The environmental factors include exposure to environmental pollution and allergens. To define the distribution of atopic conditions (asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis) according to age, residence and available skin prick test. This cross-sectional study included (100) patients, representing research sample. It was conducted in specialized allergy center in Kirkuk city during the period from first January .2016 to the end of December 2016 All patients included in this study were referred from primary health centers, complaining from signs and symptoms of atopic diseases. Depending on medical history and clinical examinations, the sample was classified into (3) groups (asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis). Skin prick test was used to identify patients allergy to house dust mite and pollen. Regarding the distribution of samples according to residence, most patients (about 91%) were from urban areas compared with (9%) of them were from rural areas. Also, it was found that the frequency of atopic diseases decreases by age advancement. The frequency distribution of asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis was 49%, 26% and 25%, respectively. The skin test data revealed the frequency of 2 aeroallergen mite and pollen in all patients under study. .Hence, 65% were sensitive to house dust mite, 26% to pollen and 9% to both mite and pollen In conclusion this study confirmed that most patients complaining from atopic disease were from urban area. Also, the frequency of atopic diseases decreased by age advancement. The most common atopic disease was asthma followed by allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. Most patients were sensitive to house dust mite.
