    Evaluation of risk factors in patients diagnosed as bronchial asthma
    (Ediciones Doyma, S.L., 2006) Cengizlier, M. Reha; Mısırlıoğlu, Emine Dibek
    Bronchial asthma is a public health problem with gradually increasing importance, affecting more than 100 million individuals worldwide and found independently of the level of development of the country. Factors related to lifestyle and the environment form the basis for the increase in the prevalence of the disease. Aim: To evaluate our patients being followed-up with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma at the Allergy Clinic for risk factors and to determine their sociodemographic characteristics Material and Method: The risk factors of 3025 patients followed-up with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma at the Allergy Clinic of the Ministry of Health, Ankara Diskapi Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital between January 1995 and March 2000 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: A high percentage of our patients suffered from both asthma and allergic rhinitis and 45% of our asthmatic patients had allergic rhinitis while 93.5% of those with allergic rhinitis were also asthmatic. Asthma was more common in males and those born in the summer months. 57.6% of the patients had a history of atopy. Passive smoking was observed at a high rate and cigarette smoke was the most important factor increasing the symptoms. The symptoms increased during the winter. 92.8% of the patients lived in the city. The average Ig E level was high and 60.9% of the patients were atopic on the skin prick test. Results: Asthma seems to be an important health problem in our country. Recognizing the risk factors is important for the diagnosis and prevention of the disease.

    Skin prick test results of child patients diagnosed as bronchial asthma
    (Elsevier Doyma Sl, 2007) Mısırlıoğlu, E. Dibek; Cengizlier, M. Reha
    Background:The pathogenesis of asthma is associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Allergen sensitization is an important risk factor in asthma development. Aim: To evaluate sensitivity to allergens by using the skin prick test in patients with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma. Method: Patients with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma followed-up at the Ministry of Health, Diskapi Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital in Ankara (Turkey) between January 1995 and March 2000 were included. Sensitivity to allergens, as determined by the skin prick test, was evaluated retrospectively. Results: The files of a total of 3025 children (63.3% boys) with bronchial asthma, aged 3 months to 16 years were evaluated. Of the total, 1667 patients with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma and 1358 with bronchial asthma plus allergic rhinitis were under follow-up. Of the 3025 asthmatic patients, 1902 had undergone the skin prick test and 60.3% of these patients were atopic. The most common allergens were house dust mite [726 patients (63.3%)], followed by pollens [565 patients (49.3%)]. The most common allergen within this group was grass pollens [348 patients (30.3%)]. Conclusions: Atopy was an important risk factor in our patients and the most common allergens were aeroallegens. The development of sensitization could be delayed by early precautions.
