Özet: Introduction: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the sensitivity, total and specific serum immunoglobulin E levels of patients over the age of thirteen, who were diagnosed with asthma and allergic rhinitis. Material and Method: Skin prick tests and total and specific serum immunoglobulin E results of 133 patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma who applied to the department of Child Allergy and Internal Medicine between January 1, 2017 and May 30, 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: A total of 133 patients (36 (27.1%) male and 97 (72.9%) female) were included in the study. The mean age of the study group was 15.34±1.50. Forty-two patients (31.6%) had asthma bronchiole, 29 (21.8%) had allergic rhinitis, and 61 (45.9%) had allergic rhinitis and asthma bronchiole. In skin prick tests, 65 (48.8%) patients had sensitivity to at least one allergen. The most common mixed herb pollen was (41 (30.8%) patients) sensitivity. The prevalence of positivity against at least one allergen in asthma and rhinitis was significantly higher (p=0.01). Food allergy was detected in three (2.4%) patients. A statistically significant relationship was found between total serum immunoglobulin E and house dust mites sensitivity (p=0.000). Conclusions: In our study, sensitivity to mixed grass pollen and house dust mites was found most frequently. The prevalence of allergen positivity was high in asthma and rhinitis group. Climate, environmental conditions, socioeconomic conditions may have an impact on these results.
