OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the correlation between allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHODS: A total of 462 patients diagnosed with either allergic conjunctivitis or allergic rhinitis and treated at our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were included. Patients were categorized into two groups, the AC group and the AR group, based on their initial department of consultation. The AC group comprised 232 patients diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis in the ophthalmology department, while the AR group consisted of 230 patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis in the ENT department. Allergen analysis was conducted on patients presenting with both AC and AR and conjunctival and nasal mucosal scrapings were performed to examine eosinophil presence. The study analyzed the association between allergic AC and AR.
RESULTS: In the AC group, 174 patients (75.00%) had concurrent AR, while in the AR group, 169 patients (73.48%) had concurrent AC. Inhalant allergen testing among patients with concurrent AC and AR revealed that the primary inhalant allergens were dust mites, house dust, and fungi, with specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) positivity of 91.23%. Testing for food allergens identified fish, shrimp, and crab as ingestive allergens, with a specific IgE positivity of 58.58%. Eosinophil presence was assessed through conjunctival and nasal mucosal scrapings in patients with concurrent AC and AR. Eosinophils were detected in 188 cases (54.81%) through conjunctival scraping and 197 cases (57.43%) through nasal mucosal scraping, with no significant differences observed (P > .05).
CONCLUSIONS: AC and AR share a common pathophysiological process and allergen profile, with the conjunctiva and nasal mucosa serving as sites of allergic reactions. This study suggests the integration of AC prevention and treatment into AR prevention strategies.
