Abstract:
Objective To study the distribution and clinical significance of allergens in children with adenoid hypertrophy.Methods The allergen detection results of 223 children with adenoid hypertrophy admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology,the Wuxi Second People's Hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,while 43 children without adenoid hypertrophy were set as the control group.The allergy test results were compared between the two groups for difference.Results The positive rate of total allergens in adenoid hypertrophy group was 54.7%.The positive rate of total allergens in the control group was 27.9%.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In the adenoid hypertrophy group,the positive rate of inhaled allergens was 41.3%,mainly mites/dusts and molds.The positive rate of ingested allergens was 32.3%,mainly milk and egg white.The adenoid hypertrophy group was divided according to age.The positive rate of total allergens was 54.0%in the 2-7 year old group.The positive rate of total allergens in the 8-14 year old group was 55.7%.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Allergen stimulation is one of the causes of adenoid hypertrophy.Mite,mold,milk and egg white are common allergens in children with adenoid hypertrophy in Wuxi.The effect of allergen stimulation on adenoid hypertrophy did not decrease with age.Therefore,the detection of serum allergens can help to understand the specific allergens of children and provide direction for the non-surgical treatment of children with adenoid hypertrophy.
