Abstract
:
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Allergic Rhinitis (AR), a common chronic health problem, imposes a substantial burden on public health. New evidence suggests a possible link between AR and Vitamin D deficiency [25(OH) D]. OBJECTIVE: This study was done with the purpose to determine if there is association between serum Vitamin D level and AR in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. METHOD: A prospective study included 55 patients with AR diagnosed clinically by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 (SNOT-20). Blood samples were drawn from the patients to measure their vitamin D level, serum IgE and serum eosinophil. Levels of vitamin D were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: A total of 55 adult patient, aged between 18 – 80 years (mean age is 42.0 +15.66) showed the majority of patients (74.5%) were vitamin D deficient; had a normal (49.1%) and high (49.1%) levels of serum IgE and normal level of serum eosinophils (76.4%). There was a statistically significant the relationship between AR (0.001) with vitamin D deficiency. There is no a statistically significant association between vitamin D deficiency among patients, and their gender and age. CONCLUSION: The results show indicates that vitamin D deficiency it might be a risk factor for AR with no association between vitamin D deficiency and patient age and gender we recommend further studies and investigation needed with larger sample size.
