Nedel’ska // Астма та алергія = Astma and allergy. - 2020. - N 1. - P22-27 MeSH-головна: РИНИТ АЛЛЕРГИЧЕСКИЙ -- RHINITIS, ALLERGIC (диагностика) ЦИТОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ МЕТОДЫ -- CYTOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES (использование) ДЕТИ -- CHILD Анотація: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic immune disease of upper respiratory tract that still occupies the leading place among allergic disorders in children and deteriorates quality of life and physical development with further social and physiological maladaptation. Rhinocytological examination gives an opportunity to improve diagnostics, define severity of disease and degree of nasal mucus affection. Authors performed the cytological examination in 63 children with persistent (1-st group) and intermittent (2-nd group) allergic rhinitis. In all children with allergic rhinitis epithelial dysplasia or metaplasia with significant damage of squamous and cylindrical multirow epithelium, presence of detritus have been revealed. High level of microbial contamination of nasal mucus has been registered, predominantly in children with persistent form. In both groups eosinophil cytosis was high, eosinophil-neutrophil ratio was 0,152 in 1-st group and 0,334 in 2-nd group while normal index is lower than 0,1. Authors claim that presence of cytological differences between the forms of allergic rhinitis and possibility to define microbial biofilms make rhinocytological examination obligatory for children with allergic rhinitis to improve quality of patients’ management Дод.точки доступу: Nedel’ska, S.
