Abstract

Background: ALLERGIC RHINITIS is the most common chronic disease of human, which causes great morbidity. COCKROACH is a common allergen in RESPIRATORY ALLERGIES. This study was done to evaluate the state of COCKROACH allergy among patients with COCKROACH allergy in Iran.Materials and Methods: COCKROACH allergy was evaluated by skin prick test (SPT) and measurement of COCKROACH specific IGE for BLATTELLA GERMANICA in 116 patients with ALLERGIC RHINITIS. They also underwent skin prick test for trees, weeds, grasses, mites [Dermatophagoid Peteronysinus (DP), Dermatophagoid Farina (DF)], feather, and cat.Results: Of the patients 31 (26.7%) had positive COCKROACH SPT and 2 (1.7%) had positive COCKROACH specific IGE. Positive SPTs for weeds, trees, grasses, DP, DF, feather, and cat were seen in 48.3%, 38.8%, 37.9%, 25%, 24.1%, 9.5%, and 6.7% respectively. The infestation of the patients' home with German COCKROACH was associated with more prevalent COCKROACH allergy (P<0.001).Cockroach allergy was more prevalent among female subjects than males.Conclusion:German COCKROACH was the fourth common allergen and the most common indoor allergen among patients with ALLERGIC RHINITIS. As COCKROACH allergy was associated with the infestation of the patients' home with German COCKROACHes, elimination of the COCKROACHes may help management of the disease.
