Résumé

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the association of serum vitamin D and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels with the severity of allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods This case-control study was conducted at Mayo Hospital, Lahore, from June to September 2020 after obtaining ethical approval. Patients of AR were included and divided with the help of allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma (ARIA) classification, into group A (cases), patients presenting with moderate to severe symptoms, and into group B (control), patients with mild symptoms, after treatment of AR. The mean difference between serum IgE and serum Vitamin D levels of both groups were compared by t-test. Association was determined by logistic regression and odds ratio. Results A total of 224 patients were included in the study, 112 patients in group A and 112 patients in group B. There were 106 (47.3%) female and 118 (52.7%) male. The mean age of patients in group A was 26.78± 8.92 years and in group B, it was 25.72±8.12 years. Mean serum vitamin D levels in group A were 16.24±6.7 ng/ml and in group B 26.92±35 ng/ml (p=0.0001). Mean serum IgE levels in group A were 383.69±154.86 IU/ml and in group B, they were 373.03±106.83 IU/ml (p=0.0001). Vitamin D deficient patients were 24 times more likely to develop moderate to severe AR disease. Conclusion This study showed that in moderate-severe AR, IgE levels are raised statistically as compared to mild AR and the deficiency of Vitamin D is associated with increasing severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms.
