PG - 139-144 LID - 10.1089/ped.2022.0114 [doi] AB - Objective: Previous reports have indicated the close association of allergy with adenoid hypertrophy (AH). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the inflammatory cells and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in blood could be useful in the diagnosis of allergy in AH. Methods: Two hundred thirty-four children who underwent adenoidectomy were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Blood routine parameters were recorded, and total IgE as well as specific IgE (sIgE) of common allergens were tested perioperatively. The diagnostic utility of blood inflammatory cells and total IgE compared with serum sIgE testing was assessed. Results: In our study, 35.47% of AH children were atopic. Dermatophagoides farinae (d2), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (d1), and mold (mx2) were the most common sensitizing allergens. Significantly elevated eosinophil count, eosinophil to lymphocyte value, and total IgE were found in allergic AH children. As a result of receiver operating characteristic analysis, systemic total IgE could be a method to diagnose allergy in AH with a cutoff value of 46.55 and higher (area under curve [AUC] = 0.837; P < 0.001). Peripheral eosinophil count and eosinophil to lymphocyte were also able to predict positive allergy test result in AH children, with a cutoff value of 0.295 (AUC = 0.721; P < 0.001) and 0.082 (AUC = 0.685; P < 0.001), respectively. Conclusion: The presence of allergy can be distinguished by looking at peripheral total IgE and/or blood eosinophils in AH, which will guide us to the precise treatment of AH and also reduce the cost considerably.
