Gastrointestinal manifestations, spectrum and frequency of sensitization to food allergens in Kyiv’s adult citizens with allergic rhinitis: a cross-sectional study
Background. Food allergy affects 1–3 % of adults worldwide. More than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions. Food allergy may precede and stimulate allergic rhinitis.

| description | Background. Food allergy affects 1–3 % of adults worldwide. More than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions. Food allergy may precede and stimulate allergic rhinitis. Aim of the study was to assess the spectrum and frequency of sensitization to food allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis from Kyiv, Ukraine. Materials and methods. The investigation was conducted as a cross-sectional study. One hundred and seventy-five Kyiv adult patients with allergic rhinitis were enrolled in the trial. Sensitization to allergens and their components was determined by skin prick tests and in vitro detection of allergen specific IgE by ELISA in blood serum — a multicomponent Allergy Explorer2 ALEX2 test. Results. It was shown that sensitization to following inhalant allergens was predominant: to timothy grass — in 50.3 %, to ragweed — in 48.6 %, to birch — in 44 %, to wormwood — in 24 %, to Alternaria alternata mold — in 15.4 % of patients. One hundred and thirty-one (74.9 %) participants have co-sensitization to at least one food allergen, among them 77 (58.8 %) had gastrointestinal symptoms. Sensitization to following food allergens was predominant: to hazelnut — 27.5 %, apple — 26.3 %, peanut — 21.7 %, celery — 14.3 %, soy — 13.1 %, carp — 11.4 %, kiwi — 9.1 %, crab — 9.1 %, codfish — 8.6 %, oyster — 8.6 %, peach — 8 %, lobster — 8 %, carrot — 7.4 %, anisakis — 6.3 %, prawn — 6.3 %, tiger prawn — 5.7 %, to beef — 5.1 % of cases. It was found that the frequency of sensitization to cross-reactive proteins PR-10 was 20.5 % (95% confidence interval (CI); 9.7–33.9 %) in patients with allergic rhinitis without food co-sensitization comparing to 51.1 % (95% CI; 42.5–59.7 %) in participants with both allergic rhinitis and food co-sensitization, p < 0.001; to nsLTP — 2.3 % (95% CI; 0–8.9 %) and 19.8 % (95% CI; 13.4–27.2 %), respectively, p = 0.011. Conclusions. Among Kyiv adult patients with allergic rhinitis, approximately three quarters have food co-sensitization that may be the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms and exacerbations of allergic rhinitis after consuming vegetables, fruits and nuts due to cross-reactivity with inhalant allergens. This should be considered when manage such patients. |
