Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Role of allergy in the management of patients subjected to adenoid hypertrophy and otitis media
with effusion
Shafiei Esfidvajani, Alireza / Bemanian, Mohammad Hasan
Introduction
Adenoid hypertrophy and otitis media with effusion are common diseases during childhood. Nowadays
these diseases are treated by surgery and long term antibiotics. There are increasing evidences based on
the role of allergy in pathogenesis of two mentioned problems. Increased relapse rate of symptoms
following surgery in allergic patients are also reported. The aim of this research is to determine the
prevalence of allergy in children with adenoid hypertrophy and otitis media with effusion, and to
evaluate the effect of intranasal steroid in these patients.
Objectives
A non randomized, prospective, cross- sectional study was conducted on 122 patients younger than 18
years old, diagnosed as adenoid hypertrophy or otitis media with effusion. Patients, who were atopic,
referred to an allergist and evaluated for allergic sensitization. Sensitized patients undertook one month
treatment with intranasal corticosteroid and oral antihistamine.
Results
Among 122 patients under investigation, 116 were reported to have AHT and 30 persons were subjected
to OME. 38 (32.7%) of the patients with AHT and 9 (30%) of the patients with OME were clinically
allergic. Among a total of 122 patients, 34 (28%) were reported to have clinical signs of allergy and
higher levels of total IgE serum from its normal level (proportional to their age) considered atopic.
These patients were asked to take skin PRICK test and twenty five of them accepted. Allergic
sensitization (evaluated by skin PRICK test) was recorded in 11 of total 25 (44 %) patients. The most
common allergen sensitization was found to be Russian thistle. The mean AHT and OME Symptoms
score decreased significantly after treatment (P.v=0. 001, 0.007). Response to treatment in patients with
allergic sensitization was significantly higher than patients without allergic sensitization (P.v<0.05).
Conclusions
According to the results of this study, in patients with the AHT and OME who had an elevated IgE and
clinical allergic symptoms, implementation of the PRICK test is helpful in taking any decision regarding
the medical treatment and prevention of unnecessary surgery.
