A Retrospective Comparison of Aeroallergen Sensitization Among Different Allergic Diseases in Guangzhou, China.

Mediators Inflamm

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou 510623, China.

Numerous studies have reported on the types of aeroallergen sensitization in various pediatric allergic diseases, but limited data compared the types of aeroallergen sensitization across different pediatric allergic diseases. The aim of this study is to explore the nature and significance of aeroallergen sensitization in diverse pediatric allergic conditions. A comparative analysis was carried out on aeroallergen sensitization in children suffering from allergic diseases who visited the Otolaryngology, Respiratory, and Dermatology Departments between January 2019 and December 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed serum allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) in 3,822 patients with respiratory and skin diseases in Shanghai over one year to help understand and improve the diagnosis and treatment of allergies in the region.
  • - Results revealed that 88.4% of patients tested positive for at least one allergen, with 72.9% exhibiting multiple allergy sensitivities; the most common allergens included house dust mites, milk, fungi, and certain tropical mites.
  • - Statistical analysis indicated that certain allergens like cat dandruff were more prevalent in respiratory diseases, while food allergens like shrimp and crab showed lower positivity rates, providing insights into the allergen distribution for targeted prevention strategies.

Mitigation of household allergens is associated with the reduction of asthma exacerbations in those with allergic asthma and is recommended in recent asthma guidelines. However, we need to better understand patient knowledge of aeroallergens in their homes prior to integrating direct allergen measurement methods into standard asthma care. We conducted a mixed-methods sequential pilot study consisting of a survey and virtual interview with caregivers of children aged 3 to 15 with asthma diagnosis (any severity) about asthma control, household environment, mitigation knowledge and strategies, and knowledge of allergens and asthma.
