Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the types and distribution characteristics of major inhalant allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Yinchuan, China.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2,000 outpatients suspected of having AR were included from 2022 to 2023 at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. Skin prick tests were performed on the included individuals using 13 common inhalant allergens: house dust mites, dust mites, tropical mites, Artemisia, dog hair, ragweed, cat hair, grass pollen, tree pollen, mold group I, mold group IV, German cockroach (Blattella germanica), and American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). The results of the skin prick tests were summarized, and patients with positive results were grouped by ethnicity, gender, and age to compare the differences in the positive rates of various inhalant allergens between the groups. The number of patients visiting each month was recorded to analyze the temporal variation in the incidence rate and compare the differences in the main inhalant sensitizers among patients in each quarter.

Results: Among the 2,000 included patients, there were 1,060 males and 940 females, with an average age of 18.7 years. Among the 2,000 outpatients who underwent allergen skin prick tests, 1,346 cases (67.30%) had positive results. The inhalant allergens were ranked in descending order of positive rates as follows: Artemisia (53.25%), dust mites (51.10%), house dust mites (49.10%), ragweed (45.70%), tropical mites (43.15%), dog hair (19.20%), cat hair (16.05%), American cockroach (12.10%), German cockroach (11.25%), grass pollen (9.15%), tree pollen (7.10%), mold group I (6.10%), and mold group IV (5.05%). There were no statistically significant differences in positive rates between different ethnicities or genders (all p > 0.05). Compared to patients aged 18 years and above, patients under 18 years old had statistically significant differences in positive rates for dust mites, Artemisia, ragweed, mold group I, and German cockroach (all p < 0.05). The seasonal distribution indicated that autumn had the highest number of patient visits in a year (579 cases, 58.95%).

Conclusion: Artemisia and dust mites were the major inhalant allergens in patients with suspected AR in Yinchuan, China. The positive rate of inhalant allergen skin prick tests was not correlated with the ethnicity or gender of the local population. Autumn was the season with the highest frequency of visits by patients with suspected AR.

中国银川过敏性鼻炎患者吸入过敏原的调查与分析
引言本研究旨在分析银川市过敏性鼻炎(AR)患者主要吸入物过敏原的种类和分布特征:在这项横断面研究中,纳入了 2022 年至 2023 年期间在宁夏医科大学总医院耳鼻咽喉头颈外科门诊就诊的 2000 名疑似 AR 患者。采用13种常见的吸入性过敏原:屋尘螨、粉尘螨、热带螨、蒿、狗毛、豚草、猫毛、草花粉、树花粉、霉菌I类、霉菌IV类、德国蟑螂(Blattella germanica)和美洲大蠊(Periplaneta americana),对所纳入的患者进行皮肤点刺试验。对皮肤点刺试验的结果进行汇总,并将结果呈阳性的患者按种族、性别和年龄分组,以比较各组间各种吸入性过敏原阳性率的差异。此外,还记录了每月就诊的患者人数,以分析发病率的时间变化,并比较每季度患者中主要吸入性过敏原的差异:在纳入的 2,000 名患者中,男性 1,060 人,女性 940 人,平均年龄为 18.7 岁。在接受过敏原皮肤点刺试验的 2,000 名门诊患者中,1,346 例(67.30%)结果呈阳性。吸入性过敏原的阳性率从高到低排列如下:青蒿(53.25%)、尘螨(51.10%)、屋尘螨(49.10%)、豚草(45.70%)、热带螨(43.15%)、狗毛(19.20%)、猫毛(16.05%)、美洲蟑螂(12.10%)、德国蟑螂(11.25%)、草花粉(9.15%)、树花粉(7.10%)、霉菌 I 组(6.10%)和霉菌 IV 组(5.05%)。不同种族或性别之间的阳性率没有明显的统计学差异(P>0.05)。与 18 岁及以上的患者相比,18 岁以下的患者在尘螨、蒿属植物、豚草、霉菌 I 组和德国蟑螂方面的阳性率差异有统计学意义(均为 P <0.05)。季节分布表明,秋季是一年中患者就诊人数最多的季节(579 例,58.95%):结论:蒿类和尘螨是中国银川地区疑似 AR 患者的主要吸入性过敏原。吸入性过敏原皮肤点刺试验的阳性率与当地人口的种族和性别无关。秋季是疑似 AR 患者就诊频率最高的季节。
