IgE-Mediated Reactions and Hyperreactivity in Pregnancy Rhinitis
Abstract: This study found no increased frequency of allergy in general in women who have had pregnancy rhinitis. However, IgE against house dust mite was more frequent in the pregnancy rhinitis group. Smoking seems to be a risk factor, but age, parity, sex of the child, and hyperreactive nasal mucosa do not. Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 was not elevated during pregnancy rhinitis.

“…13 On the other hand, Ellegard et al revealed increased levels of IgE against house dust mite in PR patients. 14 In this study, we revealed a statistically significant increase of nasal VPAC1 ( p = 0.023) and VPAC2 ( p = 0.021) expression in pregnant rats when compared with the non-pregnant ones ( Table 1 ). This finding supports the argument of previous researchers.…”

“…The incidence of pregnancy rhinitis in our questionnaire study was significantly higher in smokers than in nonsmokers (odds ratio: 1.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.1-2.5) [63]. It is possible that smoking, as an irritant, adds to other changes in some women and thus produces nasal congestion.…”
