PG - 705-714 LID - 10.1080/08820139.2020.1869252 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: A few studies investigated the relationship between allergy and Meniere disease considering complete allergen panel. We aimed to evaluate the serum immunoreactivity in patients with Meniere's disease (MD) compared with healthy people according to common indigenous Iranian inhalation and food allergens. METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with MD referred to Rasoul Akram Hospital (Tehran, Iran) were evaluated and compared with a 41 membered control group. A panel of common inhalation and food allergens (using an immunoblotting method), as well as total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level (using the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method), were checked on the patients' serum. RESULTS: The mean total IgE level was 193.85 +/- 175.43 IU/ml in the patients with MD and 117.61 +/- 138.05 IU/ml in the control group, which was significantly higher than the other subjects in the control group (P = .016). There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding inhalation allergens such as; sweet vernal grass, cultivated rye, cultivated oat, Russian thistle, goosefoot, and rough pigweed (P = .01-0.038). Patients with MD reported more reactive to food allergens such as; rye flour, hazelnut, pepper, citrus mix 2, potato, strawberry, and celery allergens. There was a significant relationship between Meniere and serum immunoreactivity to inhalation and food allergens (both P = .001).Conclusion: Serum total IgE level in patients with MD (in both inhalation and food allergens groups) was higher than the control group, and there was a relationship between MD and immunoreactivity to common indigenous inhalation and food allergens of Iran.
