The association between monosymptomatic enuresis and allergic diseases in children

This clinical study was designed to evaluate correlation betweenmonosymptomatic enuresis (MSE) and allergic diseases (asthma, allergicrhinitis, eczema, and food allergy) in pediatric patients.The study was conducted on 50 pediatric patients with a MSE clinic whowere ≥7 years old and applied to two tertiary health institutions betweenNovember 2015 and June 2016. Fifty healthy children of similar age, whoapplied to pediatric outpatient clinics for various reasons, were included asthe control group. A questionnaire questioning the presence of food allergyand enuresis in the family and also including the questions of InternationalStudy of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) was distributed to theparents of the children included in the study.It was found that 52% of 100 children participating in the study were boysand 48% were girls and their mean age was 10.8±2.8 years. While allergicdiseases accompanied 34% of the cases with enuresis, this rate was foundas 12% in the control group (p
