“…Esta redução pode ser explicada pela existência de novos métodos para diagnosticar e controlar a doença, pela aposta na educação do doente asmático e das suas famílias tendo em vista alcançar o sucesso terapêu-tico e pela melhoria do autocontrolo dos doentes asmáticos, através do uso de corticosteróides inalados e broncodilatadores. Estes resultados são sustentados por outros estudos que utilizaram o questionário do programa ISAAC 26 . Segundo este programa, as maiores taxas de prevalência de asma localizam-se na Austrália e Nova Zelândia (29,7%), seguidas da América do Norte (24,4%) e América Latina (17%) 1 17 , as disparidades de valores registados para a prevalência da asma e outras alergias revelam tratar-se de uma questão irresoluta.…”

“…O estilo de vida, incluindo o tipo de dieta na primeira infância, desempenha igualmente um papel fundamental [14][15][16] . Como consequência das interacções entre factores genéticos e factores de risco ambientais, a taxa de prevalência das doenças alérgicas apresenta resultados inconsistentes em diferentes regiões do Globo [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . Questionários escritos sobre sintomas respiratórios destinados a determinar a prevalência da asma e alergias nas crianças têm sido amplamente utilizados em estudos epidemiológicos [31][32][33][34][35] 37,38 .…”

Contrarily to asthma, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and wheeze increased in comparison with previous ISAAC studies. Wheezing attacks were associated with asthma and hay fever was identified as a risk factor of manifesting wheezing symptoms. Having pets at home was pointed out as a significant risk factor for rhinitis, but not smoking exposure, mould, plush toys, diet (except egg consumption), breastfeeding or other conditions.

“…Several disorders such as hypochondriasis, hysteria, depression, psychasthenia, and social introversion are more frequent among allergic patients than in the general population (1). Because of geographical and aeroallergen differences, the prevalence of AR varies among countries around the world (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

Context: Allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases are the most common chronic diseases among children. Although the cause of AR has yet to be clearly identified, genetic and environmental factors are known to play an important role in the development of the disease. Evidence Acquisition: In a more recent classification, AR is categorized as intermittent and permanent. Vitamin D has a known and important role in the absorption of calcium and preservation of bone density. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children is reported to be between 30% and 50% in the world. Vitamin D confers the growth and development of the immune system including the development of regulatory T cells. Results: Two-thirds of the reviewed articles show a correlation between serum levels of vitamin D and allergic diseases, while the reaming ones demonstrate no correlation between vitamin D and AR and some even report a rise in the incidence of AR following the use of vitamin D supplement. Conclusions: It seems that further clinical trials and meta-analytic studies are necessary to confirm this correlation. The present study aimed at reviewing vitamin D deficiency in children with AR.

“…The prevalence varies among countries, probably because of geographic and aeroallergen differences. [3][4][5][6] Allergic rhinitis affects between 10 and 30% of all adults and as many as 40% of children. In India, allergic rhinitis (AR) is considered to be a trivial disease, despite the fact that symptoms of rhinitis were present in 75% of children and 80% of asthmatic adults.…”

Allergic rhinitis is a common condition affecting 5 to 40% of general population and its prevalence is increasing. It is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of nasal mucosa. As per recent studies, there is an association between serum vitamin D levels and allergic rhinitis status. Vitamin D has major role in the regulation of calcium metabolism. In addition to this, it also has a number of immunological effects and takes part in immunomodulation, which can significantly affect the outcome of allergic responses like in allergic rhinitis. Aims and objectives:To establish the correlation between vitamin D3 serum levels and allergic rhinitis. Materials and methods:Vitamin D levels were assessed in 23 patients with allergic rhinitis diagnosed clinically by allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma 2008 criteria and results were compared with vitamin D status in the normal population of same region. Results:The levels of serum vitamin D levels were significantly low in the patients of allergic rhinitis. Conclusion:Measuring of serum levels of vitamin D could be considered in the routine assessment of patients with allergic rhinitis.
