Association of Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis with Childhood Asthma.

Association of Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis with Childhood Asthma.

Indian Pediatr. 2016 Nov 5;:

Authors: Kumar S, Singh M, Das RR, Mathew JL, Saxena AK

Abstract
BACKGROUND: To study the point prevalence of allergic rhinitis and sinusitis in childhood asthma and to examine the relationships among them.
METHODS: In 250 children (age <13 y) with mild-to-moderte asthma, allergic rhinitis was diagnosed by clinical plus nasal eosinophilia criteria, and sinusitis was diagnosed clinically plus confirmation by computerized tomography scan.
RESULTS: The point prevalence of allergic rhinitis was 13.6%, and of sinusitis was 2%. On multivariate analysis, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and family history were significantly associated with asthma severity.
CONCLUSION: Allergic rhinitis is common in childhood, but sinusitis is rare.

Autoimmun Rev. 2016 Feb 3;

Authors: Sin E, Anand P, Frieri M

Abstract
This review has discussed a link between allergic rhinitis, asthma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a case report in this area. A clear link with symptoms of allergic rhinitis, asthma and SLE exists. Several articles found on pubmed in the literature are listed on allergic rhinitis and allergy, Th1-immune responses, mast cells in autoimmunity, total immunoglobulin E levels in lupus, atopic diseases and SLE are reviewed. In addition, risks and correlations, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, immune regulation, elevated serum IgE levels, regulatory B cells for both allergic and autoimmune diseases are mentioned, Asthma and the vascular endothelial cell growth factor, asthma and autoimmune diseases, allergy and autoimmunity, neutrophils, innate and adaptive immunity in the development of SLE, the (Tim) gene family, complement activation in SLE and immunomodulation, hypersensitivity reactions in autoimmunity are discussed.

Medical care and treatment of allergic rhinitis. A population-based cohort study based on routine healthcare utilization data.

Allergy. 2016 Jan 8;

Authors: Schmitt J, Stadler E, Küster D, Wüstenberg EG

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Health services research on medical care and treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) is scarce.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence, incidence, comorbidities, and treatment of AR in a realistic setting.
METHODS: A cohort of 1,811,094 German National Health Insurance beneficiaries in 2005 was followed until 2011. To avoid misclassification, the ICD-10-code for AR (J30) had to be documented at least twice to classify patients as having AR. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to describe the burden, comorbidities, and treatment of AR.
RESULTS: A total of 111,394 patients (6.2%) had prevalent AR in 2005/2006. In another 60,145 individuals (3.3%) AR was newly diagnosed in 2007 to 2011 (incident cases). Patients with prevalent AR were three times more likely to develop asthma compared to patients without AR (age and sex-adjusted risk ratio (RR) 3.04; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 2.98 – 3.10). Newly diagnosed recurrent depressive disorder (RR 1.61; 95%CI 1.55 – 1.68), anxiety disorder (RR 1.52; 95%CI 1.48 – 1.56) and ADHD (RR 1.21; 95%CI 1.13 – 1.29) were also related to prevalent AR. Approximately 20% of children and 36% of adults with AR were exclusively treated by general practitioners. Allergy immunotherapy (AIT) was prescribed for 16.4% of AR patients. Subcutaneous immunotherapy was most frequently used (80% of AIT).
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the significant burden of AR. Despite the established benefits of AIT to treat AR and prevent asthma this study suggests significant undertreatment. Future research is necessary to develop and implement adequate measures to increase guideline adherence. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Sports activities enhance the prevalence of rhinitis symptoms in schoolchildren.

Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2015 Nov 27;

Authors: Kusunoki T, Takeuchi J, Morimoto T, Sakuma M, Mukaida K, Yasumi T, Nishikomori R, Heike T

Abstract
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the association between sports activities and allergic symptoms, especially rhinitis, among schoolchildren.
METHODS: This longitudinal survey of schoolchildren collected data from questionnaires regarding allergic symptoms based on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) program and sports participation that were distributed to the parents of children at all 12 public primary schools in Ohmi-Hachiman City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Data were collected annually from 2011 until 2014, when the children reached 10 years old. Blood samples were obtained in 2014, and levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) E specific to four inhalant allergens were measured.
RESULTS: Data from 558 children were analyzed. At 10 years old, prevalences of asthma and eczema did not differ significantly, while rhinitis was significantly higher (P=0.009) among children who participated in sports. Prevalence of rhinitis increased as the frequency or duration of sports participation increased (P<0.01). The prevalence of new-onset rhinitis increased significantly among 10-year-olds with increasing duration of participation in sports (P=0.03). Among those who participated in continuous sports activities, prevalence of rhinitis was significantly higher with prolonged eczema (P=0.006). Sports activities did not increase sensitization to inhalant allergens.
CONCLUSION: Sports activities enhance the prevalence of rhinitis in schoolchildren. Prolonged eczema, together with sports participation, further promotes the symptoms. The mechanisms of these novel findings warrant further investigation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
