ASSESSMENT OF ROLE OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS (AR) AS A COMMON IMMUNOLOGICAL DISORDER

Introduction: AR is a risk factor for asthma. Two recent studies provided convincing confirmation that AR is an independent risk factor for asthma onset. Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to analyze the role of Allergic rhinitis (AR) as a common immunological disorder. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Health department of Pujab durinf October 2018 to January 2019. The data was collected from 50 patients of nose allergy. Blood sample was drawn for the analysis of serum IgE levels. Environmental and behavioral factors and medical history with a focus on allergies, including specific months when rhinitis symptoms without a cold occurred, were assessed at 9 time points by using face-to-face, paper, telephone, and online questionnaires. Specific IgE levels were measured at 9 time points. Results: The data was collected from 50 nose allergy patients. Symptom scores were higher in the rhinitis than in control group during all of the experiments (P < .001) and were significantly elevated in both groups 4, 24, and 48 hours after beginning the challenge compared with baseline. Total cell count was significantly elevated in both groups. Participants from both rich and poor backgrounds (grandparents and parents) had the same risk of AR as those from average-income families. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a need of more studies for the clarification of role of AR as a immunological disorder in Pakistan.
