THANH NAM, Quan et al. Changes in the levels of immunological markers after treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis. Rev. cuban. med. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.3 Epub 01-Set-2023. ISSN 1561-3046.
Introduction:
Monitoring changes in the levels of immune markers is of great significance in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Objectives:
Determine the change in the concentration of immune markers after treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis caused by cotton dust.
Methods:
A descriptive, single-group, comparative before and after intervention study on 52 patients with allergic rhinitis caused by cotton dust. Comparison of immunological markers results before and after 36 months of treatment.
Results:
Total IgE concentration after treatment decreased, the median decreased from 1227.756 U/mL to 676.805 UI/mL. Serum levels of IgG, IgG4, and IgG1 in patients after treatment increased compared to before (p< 0.001). The cytokines also changed in the direction of no longer responding toward allergy. Median IL-17 decreased from 1.752 mg/dL to 0.417 mg/dL.
Conclusion:
In patients with allergic rhinitis after specific sublingual desensitization treatment, IgE levels and cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-17 are significantly reduced and IgG, IgG4 and IgG1 levels are increased after treatment.
