[Minimum battery of test inhalant allergens needed in screeningallergic rhinitis patients in Beijing].

Objective:The aim was to assess the prevalence of sensitized inhalant allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), analyze the differences of aeroallergen sensitization rates (SRs) in different areas, and define the minimal number and the type of aeroallergens required to identify patients as sensitized. Method:Six thousand two hundred and eighty five patients suffering from AR symptoms in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Shandong areas underwent standardized skin prick test (SPT) with 20 common aeroallergens during the period from Jan 2011 to Jul 2013 when seeking medical help in Beijing Tongren Hospital. The differences of aeroallergen sensitization rates in different areas were compared. Chi square was used in statistical analysis. Conditional approach allowed to determine the aeroallergen selection. Result:Among the 6 285 self-reported AR patients investigated, 5 575 (88.7%) patients had at least one positive skin prick reaction. The most common aeroallergen in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hebei and Shandongwere house dust mites (HDMs). SRs of HDMs in these four areas decreased with latitude increment, whereas SRs of mugwort, ragweed and dandelion in these four areas increased with latitude increment. The three most prevalent aeroallergens in Inner Mongolia were mugwort (59.86%), ragweed (47.62%) and dandelion (46.26%), respectively. Overall, 8 allergens allowed identification ≥95% of sensitized subjects in Beijing. Conclusion:Der f was the most prevalent allergen in patients with AR in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hebei and Shandong Areas, whereas SR of mugwort was highest in Inner Mongolia. Sensitization pattern of aeroallergens varied with areas. Eight allergens allowed identification of the majority of sensitized subjects in screening panels for allergy in Beijing.
