Özet
Objective: We aimed to determine the distribution of inhaled allergens by evaluating the results of skin prick tests performed on patients with allergic complaints in Konya. Material and Methods: The study included 2351 patients aged 2-18 years who underwent skin prick tests for the diagnosis of inhaled allergens at the Selçuk University Medical Faculty Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Outpatient Clinic between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. The demographic characteristics and skin prick test results of 696 patients with sensitivity to at least one inhaled allergen were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Sensitivity to at least one inhaled allergen was detected in 696 (29.6%) of 2351 patients who underwent skin prick testing for allergic symptoms. The mean age of patients with inhaled allergen sensitivity was 10.37 ± 4.14 years. 278 (39.9%) of the patients were girls, and 418 (60.1%) were boys. Considering the distribution of inhaled allergens detected by the skin prick test, the most frequent allergens were pollen allergens (78.2%), cat epithelium (38.8%), and dog epithelium (33.8%). The most common allergens detected in girls were pollen allergens (77.3%), cat epithelium (38.1%) and house dust mites (37.1%). The most common allergens detected in males were pollen allergens (78.7%), cat epithelium (39.2%), and dog epithelium (34.7%). Sensitivity to house dust mites was more prevalent in girls than boys. Sensitivity to pollen allergens was most frequently detected in all seasons. Significant differences were detected between house dust mites, pollen allergens, rye, and cat epithelium sensitivities according to seasons. Conclusion: Our study shows the distribution of inhaled allergens in Konya province. Therefore, we assume that it can contribute to the implementation of environmental measures that can be taken to protect against allergens and, thus, to the treatment of patients.
