Recently it has been suggested that, the worldwide increase in allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergy is associated with low vitamin D intake.
This study measured the vitamin D levels in patients with allergic rhinitis and compared the results with the general population.
Vitamin D levels were assessed in 50 patients with allergic rhinitis diagnosed clinically by Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma 2008 criteria and the result of skin prick test for aeroallergens. There was no control group, and the study results were compared with the results of another study evaluating vitamin D status in the 5,329 people of normal population of Iran.
The prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in patients with allergic rhinitis than the normal population, 30% and 5.1% respectively (p = 0.03). Also women with allergic rhinitis had lower vitamin D levels.
Measuring vitamin D serum levels could be helpful in the routine assessment of patients with allergic rhinitis in Iran.
最近有人提出，全球范围内哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和食物过敏等过敏性疾病的增加与维生素D摄入量低有关。
本研究测量了过敏性鼻炎患者的维生素D水平，并将结果与普通人群进行比较。
根据《过敏性鼻炎及其对哮喘的影响2008标准》对50例临床诊断为过敏性鼻炎的患者进行维生素D水平评估，并对气传变应原进行皮肤点刺试验。没有对照组，研究结果与另一项评估伊朗5329名正常人群维生素D状况的研究结果进行比较。
过敏性鼻炎患者中严重维生素D缺乏的患病率显著高于正常人群，分别为30%和5.1%（p = 0.03）。此外，患有过敏性鼻炎的女性维生素D水平较低。
测量血清维生素D水平可能有助于伊朗过敏性鼻炎患者的常规评估。
