ABSTRACT
One hundred and twenty patients, aged 3-15 years, attending the Allergy Clinic, Thammasat University Hospital, with allergic rhinitis, asthma or both conditions were studied. Standardized skin prick tests were performed with 15 common aeroallergens. The subjects were 85 boys and 35 girls with the mean age of 8.1 years (SD = 3.4 years). There were 63 cases (53%), 22 cases (18%) and 35 cases (29%) diagnosed with allergic rhinitis only, asthma only and both conditions, respectively. The prevalence of asthma among the allergic rhinitis patients was 36 percent whereas the prevalence of allergic rhinitis among the asthmatic patients was 61 percent. The sensitization patterns for major aeroallergens among the three groups were similar with the most common sensitized allergens as D. pteronyssinus, followed by D. farinae, American cockroach, Kopok and German cockroach, respectively. Among the atopic patients, a greater number of allergen reactivity was significantly associated with the increased risk of having their coexistence of allergic rhinitis and asthma (p = 0.0046; score test for trend of odds ratio).
