Environmental factors, eating habits, and different ages might affect the profiles of allergy sensitization. The purpose of this study was to survey the different profiles of allergen sensitization in different ages in eastern Taiwan.
We analyzed the allergic patients who had allergen sensitization examinations by the Phadiatop (atopy screen; IBT Laboratories, Lenexa, KS, USA) and the Pharmacia CAP System method at Haulien Tzu Chi Hospital from January 2010 to December 2015. Results were compared in different ages.
A total of 15,455 patients were analyzed. The food and aeroallergen screen sensitization rate of children was significantly higher than that of adults (44.0% vs. 9.9% and 61.9% vs. 52.2% < 0.05). Children had statistically significantly higher cow milk allergen-specific sensitization rate than that of adults (32.9% vs. 5.8% < 0.05). The higher sensitization of shrimp occurred in adults than children. (33.6% vs. 24.8% < 0.05).
Our data demonstrate that children have higher cow milk allergy sensitization and adults have higher sensitization of shrimp.
环境因素、饮食习惯及不同年龄可能影响过敏致敏情况。本研究旨在调查台湾东部不同年龄段的变应原致敏情况。
我们分析了2010年1月至2015年12月在花莲慈济医院接受过用Phadiatop（特应性筛查；美国堪萨斯州莱尼克斯市IBT实验室）和Pharmacia CAP系统方法进行变应原致敏检查的过敏患者。对不同年龄组的结果进行比较。
共分析了15455例患者。儿童的食物和吸入性变应原筛查致敏率显著高于成人（44.0%对9.9%以及61.9%对52.2%，P<0.05）。儿童的牛奶变应原特异性致敏率在统计学上显著高于成人（32.9%对5.8%，P<0.05）。成人对虾的致敏率高于儿童（33.6%对24.8%，P<0.05）。
我们的数据表明，儿童牛奶过敏致敏率较高，而成人对虾的致敏率较高。
