Keywords: Allergic rhinitis, Prick test, Hematologic parameters
The aim of this study was to perform the analysis of hematological parameters in patients with allergic rhinitis symptoms.
181 patients underwent the skin prick test and completed the symptoms inquiry form were included in the study. We measured RBC (Red blood cells), Hb (hemoglobin), Htc (hemotocrit), WBC (white blood cells), PLT (platelet) and MPV (mean platelet volume) of the subjects. The relationship of the skin prick test positivity, allergic symptoms, severity and duration of symptoms, with the hematological parameters are analysed.
Hematologic parameters were in normal ranges in patients who presented with symptoms of chronic rhinitis. There was no correlation between skin prick test positivity and hematological parameters. In the Alergic rhinitis group, RBC and Hb were seen to be affected by duration of illness and not to be affected by allergen distribution. WBC was seen to decrease as the duration of illness prolonged in both allergic and non-allergic groups.
The presence of nasal symptoms was found to be associated with high RBC, Hb, Htc values. In the AR group, the RBC and Hb were found to have been affected by the duration of illness, and unaffected by the allergen distribution.
