2019
OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of asthma and allergic diseases in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and Celiac disease using international study of asthma and allergies in childhood questionnaire. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Pediatric gastroenterology outpatient clinics and pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinics, from May 2015 to August 2015. METHODOLOGY: Patients aged between 6 and 18 years with the diagnoses of celiac and inflammatory bowel disease were included in the study. After recording the socio-demographic characteristics of all patients, the International study of asthma and allergies in childhood questionnaire was applied and required information collected. RESULTS: Eighty-three patients (31 males, 52 females) diagnosed with celiac, 42 patients (24 males, 18 females) diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and 28 patients (11 females, 17 males) diagnosed with Crohn's disease were included. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the frequency of wheezing, wheezing in the last year, lifelong allergic rhinitis, long-term use of nasal steroids, and history of eczema (p >0.05). The frequency of atopic dermatitis was significantly higher in the celiac disease group than the other groups. CONCLUSION: The frequencies of asthma and atopy are similar in patients with celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
