The purpose of our study was to investigate the association between food hypersensitivity and eczematous external otitis.
In this cross-sectional study, 27 patients with eczematous external otitis and 16 healthy volunteer were included. The existence of food hypersensitivity was defined by positive epicutaneous prick test and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies.
Food allergy test was positive in 13 (48.1%) out of 27 cases with eczematous external otitis, and it was positive in 2 (12.5%) out of 16 cases in control group. The difference between 2 groups was statistically significant (P =.02). Specific IgE seropositivity (51.9%) was high in the patients with eczematous external otitis compared with the control group (12.5%) (P =.02).
Food hypersensitivity may be a factor, which should be considered in eczematous external otitis patients. Patients suffering from eczematous external otitis symptoms should be evaluated for food hypersensitivity.
我们研究的目的是调查食物过敏与湿疹性外耳道炎之间的关联。
在这项横断面研究中，纳入了27例湿疹性外耳道炎患者和16名健康志愿者。通过阳性皮肤点刺试验和特异性免疫球蛋白E（IgE）抗体来确定食物过敏的存在。
27例湿疹性外耳道炎患者中，13例（48.1%）食物过敏试验呈阳性，而对照组16例中有2例（12.5%）呈阳性。两组之间的差异具有统计学意义（P = 0.02）。与对照组（12.5%）相比，湿疹性外耳道炎患者的特异性IgE血清阳性率较高（51.9%）（P = 0.02）。
食物过敏可能是一个因素，在湿疹性外耳道炎患者中应予以考虑。患有湿疹性外耳道炎症状的患者应评估是否存在食物过敏。
