Laser surgery has been used to successfully treat patients with perennial allergic rhinitis. We examined whether the numbers and types of sensitized allergens influence the effects of surgery. Two different groups (those allergic to house dust mites only, and those allergic to house dust mites and Japanese cedar pollen) prospectively underwent the same course of laser turbinectomy during the pollen dispersion season. The symptom scores for nasal obstruction significantly decreased in both groups, but the improvement of sneezing and rhinorrhea was less pronounced in the pollen group. We used acoustic rhinometry to measure postoperative changes in the nasal dimensions. Four months after treatment, the minimum cross-sectional area and nasal cavity volume had increased, respectively, by 61.7% and 30.7% in the house dust group, and by 30.7% and 16.2% in the pollen group. We conclude that laser surgery can be successfully applied to patients whose allergies show seasonal exacerbation by airborne pollen.

Background: Rhinitis Allergic is an inflammatory process in the nasal mucosa caused by type I hypersensitivity reactions that are triggered by certain allergens. The prevalence of rhinitis allergic in Indonesia is estimated to range between 10- 20% and is constantly increasing. The average Onset age of Rhinitis Allergic is 8- 11 years old and 80% of rhinitis allergic develops at the age of 20 years old. Usually rhinitis allergic occurs at a young age. Rhinitis Allergic can be triggered by several types of aeroallergens, one of which is house dust mites. Lopo C research mentioned that most allergens cause allergic rhinitis are house dust mites that is equal to (75.6%). Objective: To determine the correlation of house dust mites to the incidence of rhinitis allergic being treated at the ENT Polyclinic in Bangli Regional Hospital in 2019. Method: This study was an observational study with a cross sectional design. Samples were taken based on primary and secondary data using non-probability sampling techniques by purposive sampling. The samples used in this study were 143 samples of rhinitis patients. Data  analysis using Chi Square. Results: The results obtained from the Chi Square test did not have a significant correlation of house dust mites and the number of incidence of allergic rhinitis is p-value 0.060 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation of household dust mites and the incidence of rhinitis allergic in the ent polyclinic of Bangli hospital in 2019.

Allergy is still a health problem in Indonesia. One of the manifestations of allergies is allergic rhinitis. Many factors can trigger the recurrence of rhinitis, including exposure to house dust mites. This study aims to identify the population of house dust mites in the classrooms and student residences. This study was participated by 74 FK UNRI students with allergic rhinitis. The samples included dust collected from residences and classrooms consisting of four large classrooms, three small classrooms, four laboratories, two examination rooms, 12 skills lab rooms, and 15 tutorial rooms. Detection of dust was performed using the direct method. The results showed that no classroom (0%) was found with house dust mites. However, there were 37.8% of residences were positive. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the high population of house dust mites in the students’ residences becomes an essential factor as a chronic stressor for allergic rhinitis.

Background and Objectives: The evolution of allergic rhinitis to asthma is a part of “atopic march”. The aim of this study was to analyze possible predictive markers for asthma occurrence in patients with allergic rhinitis to house dust mites (HDM). Materials and Methods: Fifty-eight patients with persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR) were included. The clinical, biological evaluation and fractionated exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurement were performed at enrolment. The patients were clinically evaluated after one year to determine asthma occurrence. Results: The severity of rhinitis symptoms, levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE), ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and IL-6, but not IL-8 and TNF-α were higher in patients with allergic rhinitis who developed asthma compared to non-asthmatics, but the differences were not significant to considered them as predictive factors for asthma occurrence. The risk of asthma was independently influenced by patients aged over 30 years ((OR-3.74; CI95% 0.86–16.31; p = 0.07), a duration of allergic rhinitis over 12 months ((OR-4.20; CI95% 0.88–20; p = 0.07) and a basal FeNO over 28 parts per billion (pbb) ((OR-18.68; CI95% 3.79–92.05; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Clinical and biological parameters may predict asthma occurrence in patients with persistent allergic rhinitis to HDM. Adult patients with a longer duration of rhinitis symptoms and a high level of FeNO have a greater risk to develop asthma.

Allergic rhinitis should be considered as a serious condition because it can affect the quality of life of patients. In manycases, the most common allergen is house dust mites (HDM). The purpose of this study was to describe the density ofhouse dust mites as triggers of allergic rhinitis in Pekanbaru orphanage children. This is a descriptive study with across sectional approach. Data obtained from interviews using the modified International Study of Asthma and Allergiesof Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire to know the allergic rhinitis status and examination of house dust samples toidentify HDM in the parasitology laboratory. Sampling was carried out in 4 orphanages Pekanbaru. Allergic rhinitissymptoms were experienced by 81.2% of children in the orphanages and HDM was found with the mean density 9.11/g of dust. HDM was found in all four orphanages and was found to have a high incidence of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors associated with allergic rhinitis in adults. METHODS: Using the 1:1 matching principle, 1096 cases of allergic rhinitis patients aged 18-65 years were selected as the observation group, and another group of healthy medical checkups were selected as the control group, and the data related to allergic rhinitis were collected by allergen testing and questionnaire survey, and univariate and multifactorial analyses were performed respectively. RESULTS: The univariate analysis showed that allergic rhinitis may be related to temperature changes, dryness and humidity, air pressure, wind speed, seasonal changes and exposure to allergens such as dust mites and house dust mites. After allergen testing of all patients in the observation group, it was found that dust mite and house dust mite were the highest percentage of allergens, accounting for 40.51%, indicating that environmental factors play a decisive role in allergic rhinitis. Multi-factor analysis showed that exposure to dust mites, house dust mites, Penicillium punctatum, Streptomyces crossatus and Aspergillus fumigatus were independent risk factors for allergic rhinitis when it was humid, when it was cold, when it was windy and when the air pressure was low. CONCLUSION: The epidemiological status of allergic rhinitis in adults in China was initially understood, and the main allergens were house dust mite and dust mite, which provided scientific epidemiological information for the standardized prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis in this region.
