چکیده
the frequency of allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis is considerable in general population. insect aeroallergens are important allergens which can induce airway inflammation. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sensitization to insect aeroallergens in allergic rhinitis patients in yazd as a desert city in iran. a cross-sectional study was undertaken on 95 allergic rhinitis patients who were referred to allergy clinic of yazd city. skin prick tests (spt) by standard extracts of three insect aeroallergens including mosquito, corn moth, cockroach and two species of mites as common aeroallergens in allergic rhinitis (dermatophagoid farina, dermatophagoid peteronysinus) were done. spt results showed that the most common insect aeroallergens were: mosquito (32.6%) followed by corn moth (26.3%) and cockroach (13.7%).the prevalence of spt positive response to dermatophagoid peteronysinus, dermatophagoid farina were 8.4% and 7.4%, respectively. these results demonstrated that sensitization to insect aeroallergens was significantly more common compared to mites in patients with allergic rhinitis in yazd city, a city surrounded by deserts. high prevalence of skin reactivity to mosquito and corn moth as insect aeroallergens in yazd city with hot and dry climate in contrast to humid regions such as north of iran, where mites are more frequent, indicates differences in the prevalence of aeroallergen reactivity in various areas with different climates. our study could highlight the importance of insect aeroallergens for clinicians for better diagnosis and management of patients with allergic rhinitis.
