| Summary: | Title. Correlation Between Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
Sensitization of Pollen Allergen and Grass Allergen
Background. Allergy can be found in 20% of population
that having another abnormalities related to IgE. One of
the allergens that can trigger hypersensitivity response
is pollen. Pollen allergen can cause cross reaction
towards another allergens, include grass.
Objective.To analyze the correlation between
immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization of pollen allergen
with grass allergen.
Method.This study used cross-sectional design with 134
samples aged 6 to 12 years (72 boys and 62 girls) from
two elementary schools in Sleman, DI Yogyakarta province
by simple random sampling. The datas were collected by
using skin prick test and interview with questionnaire
then analyzed using chi square test.
Result. The results showed that from 134 children there
were 28 children who showed positive SPT results for
pollen allergen and 14 children have positive for grass
allergen. And 13 of 134 children have positive result
for both allergens. The prevalence ratio (95% CI) value
is 43.194 (5.881-317.227) with p value < 0,001.
Conclusion. There is a correlation between IgE
sensitization to pollen allergen and grass allergen in
the study sample. |
