| Summary: | Objective To analyze the characteristics of inhalant allergen spectrum in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Baotou, China. Methods The detection results of serum sIgE in 1 400 AR patients admitted to Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The positive rates of 18 categories of allergens were compared in patients according to gender and age from 2018 to 2022. The distribution of single sensitization, multiple sensitization, and sensitization levels induced by 18 categories of allergens was also analyzed. Results The top 3 positive allergens were <i>Artemisia</i> 55.3% (774/1 400), cat epithelium 21.9% (307/1 400), and <i>Chenopodium/Amaranthus retroflexus</i> 18.0% (252/1 400). The positive rates of <i>Dermatophagoides farinae</i>, dog epithelium, <i>Blattodea</i>, and <i>Humulus</i> did not significantly change from 2018 to 2022 (all <i>P > </i>0.05), whereas those of the remaining 14 allergens changed significantly (all <i>P < </i>0.05). Except for <i>Humulus</i> and <i>Chenopodium/Amaranthus retroflexus</i>, there were no significant differences in the positive rates of the remaining 16 categories of allergens between males and females (all <i>P > </i>0.05). Except for <i>Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus</i>, <i>Dermatophagoides farinae</i>, <i>Blomia tropicalis</i>, dog epithelium, silk,<i> Ambrosia</i>, <i>Humulus</i>, <i>Poa pratensis/Lolium/Phleum</i>, there were significant differences in the positive rates of the remaining 10 categories of allergens among different age groups (all <i>P < </i>0.05). In the middle-aged and elderly group, molds and <i>Dermatophagoides</i> were the main allergens secondary to <i>Artemisia.</i> The single sensitization rate of 18 categories of allergens was 32.8% and the multiple sensitization rate was 67.2%. The sIgE levels of <i>Artemisia</i> and cat epithelium at levels 5 and 6 were higher compared to those of other categories of allergens. Conclusions <i>Artemisia</i> is the main category of inhalant allergen in Baotou. The sIgE level is gradually increased over age, manifested with the pattern of multi-pollen sensitization. |
