Abstract
|
|
|
Nasal allergy is frequently associated with sinus disease, and it is believed that allergic rhinitis predisposes to sinus disease.
The role of allergy in sinusitis is a pertinent yet unresolved issue.
Radiological and allergological evaluation were performed on 179 patients, who complained of allergic symptoms, and who didn´t have nasal polyp, mechanical and structural nasal obstruction, recent URI symptoms, during the period from August 1990
to
August 1992 in Otolaryngologic Department of Kang Nam St. Mary´s Hospital.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1) Sinusitis was detected in 67 cases among 135 cases(49.6%) in allergic group and 10 cases among 44 cases(22.7%) in non-allergic group.
2) There was a high prevalence of abnormal sinus X-ray in a population of allergic children.
3) In PNS X-ray findings, bilateral involvement of maxillary sinus was revealed as 47 cases (70.1%) in allergic group.
4) Total blood eosinophil count was not related to incidence of sinusitis.
5) Wheal size for HD and DF, specific IgE level for DP and DF, eosinophil count in nasal secretion, serum IgE and symptom grading were related to incidence of sinusitis.
6) Specific IgG and IgG4 for DP and DF were not related to incidence of sinusitis.
7) In the allergic group, sinusitis was much more revealed in the patients who showed the positive skin test to house dust, house dust mite(perennial allergen) than to pollens(seasonal allegen).
