“…Our results showed only a Mild, non-significant increase in number of AE in mold sensitized patients in the Season 1 (winter) than in Season 4 (33.63% vs. 28.32%, p > 0.05), when a higher count of Cladosporium was observed with max count in January: 14.623/m 3 (not shown in the table). Cladosporium in general exceeds all other airborne biological particle in the atmosphere [45]. It is a predominant genus in temperate climate [13, 30], as well as in the region.…”

Background Sensitization to airborne molds may be a risk factor for severe asthma and direct cause of asthma exacerbation (AE). Methods A prospective, 1-year (April 2016–March 2017) study, done in Kuwait Allergy Centre, investigated the link between AEs with exposure to outdoor molds and the role of meteorological parameters in mold sensitized patients and compared with non-allergic asthma patients who had asthma deterioration. The total of 676 adult asthmatics with moderate-severe AEs were included and divided into atopic (85.65%) and non-atopic group. Atopy was defined by positive skin prick test (SPT) to at least one inhalant allergen. Data regarding atopy and asthma severity were collected from patient’s records. Patients with symptoms and signs of acute respiratory infection and patient sensitized to indoor allergens only were excluded. Daily count of local pollens (Salsola kali, Bermuda grass) and molds (Aspergillus, Alternaria and Cladosporium) were obtained from the Aerobiology department. Daily metrological parameters (atmospheric pressure-AP, temperature-T and relative humidity-RH) were provided by Kuwait Environment Public Authority. Count of spores/m 3 and weather variable are shown on weekly basis. The year circle was divided into 4 Seasons (1, 2, 3, 4) accordingly to typical desert climate. Results Sensitization to molds was relatively high but significantly less (25.0%) if compared to the pollens sensitization. The highest number of AEs was in season 4 for both molds and pollens sensitized patients. Seasonal patterns for both allergens were significant and positively correlated with RH and AP. In season 1 only, mold sensitized patients showed higher rate of AEs. Non-atopic patients have been less sensitive to increased RH than atopic. Negative correlation with T was similar in both atopic and non-atopic patients. Conclusion Despite of high rate of sensitization to molds, their significant role in triggering AE was not found in desert environment. Typical desert climate and high allergencity of local weeds outweigh the influence of the molds.

“…Alternaria species is the best and most investigated outdoor mold associated with allergy [45]. It is the only species that may be independently associated and responsible for severe epidemic AE [9, 39] in temperate climate conditions, especially in the harvesting season and during thunderstorms.…”

“…Rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, smell disorders, adenoid hypertrophy, lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx, obstructive sleep apnea, Eustachian tube dysfunction, otitis media with effusion, atopic dermatitis, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, chronic cough, laryngitis, and accompanying gastroesophageal reflux are the main comorbid conditions of AR ( 283 , 430 ). Apart from their benefit in comorbid conditions affecting the upper respiratory tract such as nasal polyposis, smell disorders, adenoid hypertrophy, lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx, Eustachian tube dysfunction, and otitis media with effusion, their benefits are also investigated in disorders of lower airways, including asthma.…”

Object: To prepare a national guideline for Otorhinolaryngologist who treat allergic rhinitis patients. Methods: The study was conducted by three authors, namely the writing support team. The support team made the study plan, determined the writing instructions, chose the subgroups including the advisory committee, the advisors for authors and the authors. A workshop was organized at the very beginning to explain the details of the study to the team. Advisors took the chance to meet their coworkers in their subgroups and determined the main headings and subheadings of the guideline, together with the authors. After key words were determined by the authors, literature search was done in various databases. The authors keep in touch with the advisors and the advisors with the advisory committee and the support group at every stage of the study. National and International published articles as well as the abstracts of unpublished studies, imperatively presented in National Congresses, were included in this guideline. Only Guideline and meta-analyses published in last seven years (2013-2017) and randomized controlled studies published in last two years (2015-2017) were included. After all work was completed by the subgroups, support team brought all work together and edited the article. Results: A detailed guideline about all aspects of allergic rhinitis was created. Conclusion: The authors believe that this guideline will enable a compact and up-to-date information on allergic rhinitis to healthcare professionals. This guideline is the first in the field of Otolaryngology in Turkey. It should be updated at regular intervals.

“…Uyku bozukluğu, yorgunluk gibi semptomlar sonunda dikkat eksikliği gelişebilmektedir. İlginç olarak, dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu olan hastaların da %75'inde AR semptomları izlenmekte ve %69'unda DPT pozitif bulunmaktadır (30). Herhangi bir allerjik hastalığa sahip olmanın Kawasaki hastalığı geliştirme riskini (1.4 kat) artırdığı bilinmektedir (31).…”

ÖZAllerjik rinit (AR) tüm yaş gruplarında görülen en sık ve kronik hastalıklardan biridir. Allerjik rinit IgE-aracılı nazal havayolunun allerjik enflamasyounu olup hapşırık, gözde kaşıntı-sulanma, burun mukozasının şişlik ve enflamasyonu ile kendini gösterir. Küresel sağlık problemi ve çocukluktan erişkinliğe kadar birçok kişiyi etkileyen ağır bir hastalıktır. Dünyada çocukluk çağı AR prevalansı %0.8 -45 arasında değişmektedir. Türkiye' de değişik bölgelerde sıklığı %2.9-44 olarak bildirilmektedir. Derlememizin amacı AR teşhis ve tedavisinde güncel tedavi ve teşhis yöntemlerini anlatmaktır. Hastalığın astım üzerine ve hastanın hayatına etkisinden dolayı AR en güvenilir ve etkin tedavi yöntemleriyle tedavi edilmelidir. İkinci kuşak antihistaminikler ve intranazal steroidler tedavinin temel taşlardır. Fakat mevcut ilaçların yeni formülasyonları (rupatadin oral solusyonu, hızlı çözünen ebastin tablet ve intranazal flutikazon propionat ve azelastin hidroklorit kombinasyonu vb.), yeni keşfedilmiş moleküller (siklesonid, bilastin, roflumilast vb.), immünolojik hedefi olan tedaviler (omalizumab gibi) ve klasik olmayan tedaviler (homeopatik yöntemler gibi) AR tedavisinde yeni ufukları temsil etmektedir. Allerjik rinitin doğru teşhis edilmesi tedavi başarısında esastır. Teşhiste ümit verici gelişmeler özgün risk molekülünü tanıyan rekombinant allerjenleri kullanan teşhis yöntemlerinden beklenmektedir. Hastaların duyarlı olduğu kişisel molekülleri tanımlayan pür doğal ve rekombinan allerjenler moleküler ya da belirlenmiş komponentin teşhis yöntemiyle saptanabilir. Böylece, belirlenmiş komponente dayalı teşhis yöntemi provokasyon testine olan ihtiyacı azaltabilir ve allerjen immünoterapisinin özgünlüğünü artırabilir. Yine teşhiste, nazal nitrik oksit (nNO) düzeyini ölçmekte günümüzde değişik yöntemler vardır. Azalmış nNO, kistik fibroz için tipik olmakla beraber, primer silyer diskinezide olduğu kadar düşük değildir. nNO'nun AR gibi üst solunum yolu hastalıklarında klinikte kullanımı yaygınlaşmamıştır. ABSTRACTAllergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common chronic diseases in all age groups. It is an IgE-mediated allergic inflammation of the nasal airways and is characterized by sneezing, swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa as well as itchy and watery eyes. It is a global health problem and a burdensome disorder affecting many people from childhood to adulthood. The prevalence of childhood AR shows wide variation throughout the world, ranging from 0.8 to 45%. The prevalence rates for different regions of Turkey ranges from 2.9 to 44%. The aim of the present review is to provide an update on AR treatment and diagnosis. Because of its burden on patient's lives and its impact on asthma, AR should be taken care of properly with effective and safe treatments. Second-generation antihistamines and intranasal steroids represent the milestone of AR therapy. New formulations of available drugs (rupatadine oral solution, ebastine fast-dissolving tablets, combination of intranasal fluticasone propionate and azelastine hydr...
