Otoimmün Hastalığı Olan Çocuklarda Atopi ve Alerjik Hastalık Sıklığı Alerjik Hastalık Sıklığı

Amaç: Otoimmün hastalıklarla alerjik hastalıkların patogenezi arasında farklılıklar olduğu gösterilmiştir. Otoimmün has- talığı olanlarda alerjik hastalıkların daha az olabileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Tip 1 diyabet (Tip 1 DM) veotoimmün tiroidit (OT) hastalığı olan çocuklarda atopi sıklığının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde Tip 1 DM ve OT tanısı ile takipli çocuklara, Türkçeye çevrilmiş International Studyof Asthma and Allergy in Childhood (ISAAC) soru anketi uygulandı ve deri prik testi yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 74Tip 1 DMli ve 37OTli toplam 111 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların %56.8i (n=63) kız ve yaş orta- laması 12.4 ± 3.7 yıldı. Yaşam boyu hışıltı sıklığı %9 (DMda %5.4, OTde %16.2); son bir yılda hışıltı sıklığı %3.6 (DMda%1.4, OTde %8.1), yaşam boyu rinit sıklığı %18.9 (DMda %14.9, OTde %27); son bir yılda alerjik rinit sıklığı %12.6(DMda %9.5, OTde %18.9), son bir yılda alerjik rinokonjuktivit sıklığı %9.9 (DMda %5.4, OTde %18.9) olarak saptandı.Sonuç: Otoimmün tiroiditli hastalarda alerjik rinokonjuktivit semptom sıklığı Tip 1 DM hastalara göre artmış bulundu.

Frequency of Atopy and Allergic Disorders Among Children with Autoimmune Diseases

Objective: The pathogenesis of allergic diseases and autoimmune diseases are different. It has been claimed thatthe prevalence of allergic disorders may be lower in children with autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was todetermine the prevalence of atopy in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AT). Material and Methods: The ISAAC questionnaire was used in children diagnosed with Type 1 DM and AT at ourhospital and skin prick tests were performed. Results: A total of 111 children (74 with Type 1 DM and 37 with AT) were included in the study. 56% of the patients(n=63) were female and the mean age was 12.4 ± 3.7 years. The prevalence of wheeze was 9% at any time (5.4% inDM and 16.2% in AT) and 3.6% for the current period (last 12 months) (1.4% in DM and 8.1 % in AT); the prevalence ofrhinitis was 18.9% at any time (14.9% in DM and 27% in AT) and %12.6 for the current period (9.5% in DM and 18.9%in AT); the current allergic rhinoconjunctivitis rate was 9.9% (%5.4 in DM and 18.9% in AT). Conclusion: The frequency of allergic rhinoconjunctivit symptoms is higher in children with AT than in children with Type1 DM.
