Background. Determination of prevalence of allergic rhinitis in patients with an allergy in the practice of an allergist, identification of the range of sensitization to common allergens in patients of different age groups, demonstration of the early diagnosis importance. Materials and methods. Determination of specific IgE in serum by MAST-HLA panels (36 allergens, Russian Panel IV, Hitachi Diagnostics, USA) was performed for 610 patients with rhinitis. For 269 of them a comprehensive clinical examination including cytological, bacteriological and mycological study of nasal swab was carried out. Results. Allergic rhinitis was diagnosed in 55,9% of the patients, infectious rhinitis was found in 28,7%, non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome is set in 6,1% of individuals. IgE to pollen was present in 53,9% of cases, to house dust— in 45,0% to house dust mites — in 29,0%, to mold allergens — in 14,5%. The frequency of children sensitization com -pared with adults to dog’s epithelium was higher by 1,4 times, the cat’s epithelium — by 1,3 times, to cockroaches — by 1,8 times, to house dust mites — by more than 2-fold, to food — by 2—3-fold. The clinical case demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis of disease. The choice of medicines for treatment was discussed. Conclusion. Given that the debut of allergic rhinitis in most of the examined patients occurred in childhood, the early examination of allergy in children is reasonable for the purpose of adequate therapy.

Introduction: Constant contact with allergens contributes to the formation of allergic rhinitis and swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. Moreover, constant inflammation stimulates hypertrophy of the mucous membrane of the nasal turbinates and paranasal sinuses. This study aimed to assess the clinical features of hypertrophic rhinitis (HR) in combination with allergic rhinitis (AR) in patients from Northern Vietnam to improve the effectiveness of treatment and quality of life of patients with this pathology of the nasal cavity. Methods: The study was conducted from June to September 2018 by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Thai Nguyen Central General Hospital, Vietnam. A total of 158 patients with symptoms of chronic rhinitis, aged 5–70 years, were examined. All patients with allergic rhinitis were subjected to standard, specific allergological tests, such as the determination of specific IgE in the blood, and statistics were assessed according to the otorhinolaryngology examination and CT scan. All patients were also examined by otolaryngologists. Results: According to the results of our study, among 64 patients with a diagnosis of AR, a total of 45 (70.31%) patients were diagnosed as AR in combination with a hypertrophy of the mucous membrane of the nasal turbinate, with an average duration of morbidity of 5.8 ±1.6 years. Moreover, 17 (37.78%) patients were diagnosed with severe hypertrophy of the mucous membrane of the nasal inferior turbinate (the nasal inferior turbinate is 50% or more of nasal cavity and with nasal polyps). The sensitization to house dust mites and fungi was high. Conclusion: The peculiar findings of AR in combination with HR detected in patients of Northern Vietnam was associated with the onset of the disease at the age of 20-40 years, the predominance in men, the predominance of the disease in smokers, and the predominance in residents of cities and industrial areas (71.1%). Indeed, there was an observed combination of AR with severe and moderate degree of HR. The sensitization of patients with AR in combination with HR in Northern Vietnam are similar to those in Asia, with predominant allergy to house dust mites.

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.
