Identification of the most common aeroallergens to which patients are sensitized in a specific area is important in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the pattern of skin prick test reactivity to various aeroallergens among allergic rhinitis patients attending outpatient clinics in Amman, Jordan. Skin prick test with 18 standardized allergen extracts was performed on 538 patients. Most allergic rhinitis patients in the study sample had polysensitization. Grasses mix (51.4% of patients), thistleweed (46.9%) and olive tree (45.3%) pollens were the most common allergens in this group of patients (all seasonal). Cat allergen was the most common perennial allergen (41.6%), followed by dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (32.9%). These allergens should be given the highest priority when educating allergic rhinitis patients in Amman regarding allergen avoidance strategies.
在特定地区确定患者致敏的最常见气传过敏原对于过敏性鼻炎的诊断和治疗很重要。本横断面研究旨在调查约旦安曼门诊过敏性鼻炎患者对各种气传过敏原的皮肤点刺试验反应模式。对 538 名患者进行了 18 种标准化过敏原提取物的皮肤点刺试验。研究样本中的大多数过敏性鼻炎患者均有多敏性。草混合（51.4%的患者）、蓟草（46.9%）和橄榄树（45.3%）花粉是该组患者（均为季节性）最常见的过敏原。猫过敏原是最常见的常年过敏原（41.6%），其次是尘螨屋尘螨（32.9%）。在对安曼的过敏性鼻炎患者进行过敏原回避策略教育时，应高度重视这些过敏原。
