다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To evaluate the causative allergens epidemiologically, we performed skin tests with 126 inhalant' allergens in 349 cases of perennial allergic'rhinitis concentrating special interest on the patients living plsce, age and serum total IgE level. 1) The 20 most common inhal ant allergens and their positive rates were house dust 49.6 % Dermatophagoides farinae 50.3% D, pteronyssinus 49.0%, hay dust 20.9%, straw dust 18.6 %, mixed threshing 12.0 %, chrysanthemum pollen 10.9 % mugwort pollen 9. 5%, golden rod pollen 8.6 %, dahlia pollen 7.4%, aster pollen 7. 2%, dandelion pollen 6.6 %, catfur 18.3 %, dog hair 18.1%, rabbitfur 11.7%, horse hair 6.3%, cowdander 6.0%, house fly 15.5%, mosquito 13.2% and silk 7. 7%. 2) Positive reaction rate to D. farinae was higher in urban dweller (54.8 %) than rural. Contrarily, positive reaction rate to house fly was higher in rural dweller(35.7%) than urban. Those were statistically significant. Other allergns did not show any significsnt di fference between urban sndrural dweller. 3) Positive reaction rates to six allergens(house dust, D. farinae, D. pteronyssinus, dog hair, catfur, and rabbit fur) were higher in patients who were under the sge of 30 years or had increased total serum IgE levels than not. Other allergens showed no significant difference according to the age or total serum IgE level.
