AbstractObjective:We aimed to evaluate the relationship between swimming pool pollutants and allergic rhinitis in swimming pool workers.Materials and methods:Twenty-seven indoor pool workers (group 1) and 49 control subjects (group 2) were enrolled in the study. A skin prick test was performed and a nasal smear was obtained from each subject to evaluate rhinitis.Results:When the groups were compared in terms of epithelial cells, group 1 had significantly more epithelial cells than group 2. When the groups were compared with regard to eosinophils, group 1 had significantly more eosinophils than group 2. The skin prick test results for both groups were not significantly different.Conclusion:Indoor pool workers showed severe symptoms of rhinitis and eosinophilic nasal cytology, likely due to chlorine. Nasal cytology is an easy-to-administer diagnostic test and can be used to follow up rhinitis in indoor pool workers, along with nasal endoscopy, a detailed clinical history and a skin prick test.

Skin Prick Tests

Background Skin prick tests are widely used to diagnose allergic sensitization. The influence of obesity on the skin prick test result has not been clearly established, even though the association between allergic disease and obesity is relatively well known. Objective To determine whether a change in body mass index (BMI) contributes to skin reactivity to histamine and allergens in a skin prick test, we performed a 2-year follow-up study on Korean children. Methods Skin prick tests for common aeroallergens were performed on elementary school students from Jeju Island, Korea. BMI was calculated using weight and height after measuring both, and demographic characteristics were surveyed. The same tests were repeated after 2 years. Results The sensitization rate increased during the 2 years between tests and the children’s mean BMI also increased, along with their age. The wheal sizes induced by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Japanese cedar, and histamine were significantly increased during 2 years; however, only the histamine reaction associated with increased BMI had statistical significance. Furthermore, other variables—including the number of sensitized allergens—were not related to histamine skin reactivity. Conclusion Histamine skin reactivity increased in children over time and some allergens showed increased specific reactions; however, BMI gain is a specific predictor of histamine reactivity. Further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical significance of these changes.

Background: In China, where follow-up with hospitalized attempters is generally lacking, there is a great need for inexpensive and effective means of maintaining contact and decreasing recidivism. Aims: Our objective was to test whether mobile telephone message contacts after discharge would be feasible and acceptable to suicide attempters in China. Methods: Fifteen participants were recruited from suicide attempters seen in the Emergency Department in Wuhan, China, to participate in a pilot study to receive mobile telephone messages after discharge. All participants have access to a mobile telephone, and there is no charge for the user to receive text messages. Results: Most participants (12) considered the text message contacts an acceptable and useful form of help and would like to continue to receive them for a longer period of time. Conclusions: This suggests that, as a low-cost and quick method of intervention in areas where more intensive follow-up is not practical or available, telephone messages contacts are accessible, feasible, and acceptable to suicide attempters. We hope that this will inspire future research on regular and long-term message interventions to prevent recidivism in suicide attempters.

Beberapa kasus urtikaria pada paparan debu dan diantaranya menghubungkan sensitivitas tungau debu rumah (TDR) dengan urtikaria berdasarkan riwayat pasien dan pemeriksaan uji intradermal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan korelasi antara kepadatan TDR dan rekurensi urtikaria. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini 30 orang. Kepadatan TDR dari tiap kamar sampel dihitung dengan mengumpulkan debu, dan sampel dinilai sensitivitas terhadao TDR dengan pemeriksaan skin prick test (SPT). Diagnosis urtikaria berdasarkan anamnesis, kemudian ditanyaan rekurensinya dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Hasil: Dari 30 peserta, tujuh (23,3%) sampel memiliki kepadatan TDR sedang sementara 23 (76,7%) memiliki kepadatan rendah. Selain itu, 15 sampel positif SPT terhadap alergen TDR. Dari anamnesis, 12 (40%) sampel didiagnosis urtikaria dan diantaranya, 11 orang (91,67%) positif terhadap SPT. Tidak ada sampel yang memiliki rekurensi urtikaria dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Kesimpulan: Meskipun penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan antara kepadatan TDR dan tingkat kekambuhan urtikaria (p> 0,05), TDR memang bisa memicu eksaserbasi. Penelitian ini membutuhkan penyelidikan lebih lanjut dengan ukuran sampel yang lebih besar.
