MATERIAL AND METHODS

89 children, median age 6.76±3.7 of three different regions of residence (the Siberian Region, the South Region and the Central Moscow Region) were included in the study. All ENT-specialists of the research had otolaryngic allergy training. All patients had otolaryngic examination and nasal endoscopy. The atopic status was confirmed either by means of blood sIgE >0.35 kU/l or by skin prick testing. The sensitizations to 6 group of aeroallergens such as tree pollen, grass pollen, weed pollen, molds, house dust mite and epidermal allergens were analyzed and compared among regional ENT-groups. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics v.23.0.

RESULTS

Among all regions ENT-visits in Siberia were statistically significant in case of grass pollen sensitization (χ² Pearson=5.159, p=0.023). In the South Region sensitization to house dust mite (χ² Pearson=5.463, p=0.019) and to tree pollen (χ² Pearson=6.016, p=0.014) were statistically significant for ENT-visits. ENT-visits in the Central Moscow Region were significant in case of house dust mite sensitization (χ² Pearson=7.875, p=0.005). The children with such ENT-pathology as otitis media were more often sensitized to weed pollen (χ² Pearson=3.949, p=0.047). Throat pathology i.e. tonsillar hypertrophy according to the ENT examination was more often in patients with tree pollen sensitization (χ² Pearson=6.075, p=0.014).

CONCLUSION

ENT-pathology in patients with pediatric allergic rhinitis could be different and needs further investigation.
