ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the positive rate of allergen-specific serum IgE in local patients with allergic rhinitis, and compare the positive rate of allergen-specific serum IgE across different age groups and between sexes.@*METHOD@#Inhalant and ingested serum allergen-specific IgE was detected in 145 patients with allergic rhinitis. Patients were grouped by age and sex, and then the positive rate was compared between the two groups.@*RESULT@#Ninety-four out of 145 cases had positive allergen specific IgE, and the positive rate was 64.8%. There were 45 cases with single positive allergen, accounting for 47.9%. And there were 49 cases with two or multiple positive allergens, mainly inhalant allergens, accounting for 52.1%. The difference of allergen-specific IgE positive rate between men and women was not statistically significant (P>0.05); but the positive rate between adults and adolescents was statistically significant (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Inhalant allergen is a major cause of allergic rhinitis in local people. The positive rate of household dust mites and dermatophagoides was highest (87.4%). The positive rate of specific IgE was associated with age, and adolescents have higher positive rate than adults.

Objective To study the influence of nursing interventin on compliance of patients with allergic rhinitis undergoing immunotherapy.Methods Patients with allergic rhinitis undergoing immunotherapy from October of 2003 to October of 2005 and from Novermber 2005 to August 2007 were named the control group and test group respectively.Only the test group received nursing intervention.The compliance of the patients was investigated with subsequent cause analysis.The compliance de-gree and its influencing factors in the two groups were compared.Results The complete complianceof the test group was 80.5%,which was statistically different from that of the control group(68.9%,P<0.01).The difference between adult patients of the two groups was also evidently different(P<0.05).But the difference between children patients of the two groups was not evidently different(P>0.05).Statistical difference existed between children and adult patients in the control group as well as in the testgroup(P<0.01).The uncontrollable factors in the test group reduced while the controllable factors increased.Conclusion The nursing intervention could improved patients compliance with immunotherapy in that it reduced the uncontrollable factors among the reasons causing uncompliance.It worth widely being applied in clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective To find out the common allergen of abnormal rhinitis in Shenzhen.Methods To take in process of allergopharma skin prick test(ASPT) for 855 dubitable patients with abnormal rhinitis to determine the main allergen.Results 578 patients in the 855 dubitable patients of abnormal rhinitis were positive(67.6%).These allergens were mostly inhalant.Among the 578 patients,51 cases were caused by single allergen;527 cases caused by more than two kinds of allergens;520 cases(90%) were positive in dermatophagoides pteronyssinus;488(84.4%) cases were positive in dermatophagoides farinae.Conclusion According to the common allergen of abnormal rhinitis in Shenzhen,and education to patients underwent ASPT can improve the accuracy of the test,lighten the symptom of abnormal rhinitis and raise the cure rate.
