Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 42, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Skin prick test (SPT) is used widely to determine the allergens in atopic patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the spectrum of aeroallergen sensitivity of atopic asthmatic subjects in Şanlıurfa district. Methods: We evaluated clinical, demographic findings and SPT results of 95 male and 162 female in a total 257 patients who had asthma and allergic symptoms. Results: Most common allergens causing a sensitivity reaction detected in our clinic were as follows; cockroach (56.8%), wheat pollen (53.3%), corn pollen (47.4%), grass pollen (36.5%), poplar tree pollen (26%), house dust mite (19.4%), pepper (16.7%) and cat dander (15.1%). Conclusion: High levels of sensitivity to wheat and corn pollens and relatively low sensitivity levels of cat dander results meet our expectations in the area of agricultural land and where pet ownership is not common. Key words: Atopy, aeroallergens, skin prick test
